The Lexicon Art in New Delhi is set to host "Dvaita (द्वैत): Dualities," a group exhibition curated by architect and artist Ankon Mitra opening on April 18, 2026. Featuring the work of 11 contemporary artists, the show explores the philosophical concept of dualism through contrasting elements such as light and shadow, geometric and amorphous forms, and gold and silver. The exhibition design moves away from the traditional white cube format, instead utilizing the gallery space to create a physical "dance of dualities" that reflects India’s layered cultural realities.
This exhibition is significant for its attempt to bridge ancient Indian philosophy with contemporary artistic practice, specifically the transition from Dvaita (duality) to Advaita (oneness). By bringing together diverse mediums—including sculpture, murals, and installations—the show highlights how contrasts in material and form can resolve into a unified aesthetic experience. It also underscores The Lexicon Art’s ongoing mission to make complex philosophical and artistic concepts accessible to a broader public in the heart of New Delhi.
