Thukral & Tagra | Mimesis Ashvita\u2019s is pleased to present Mimesis<\/strong>, a new body of work by Thukral & Tagra that emerges\u00a0as a residue and extension of their ongoing series, Arboretum<\/em> – a contemplative journey through communities of trees, memory, and living archives. Moving from organic ecosystems to digital terrains, Mimesis explores how lived moments are translated into pixels, bars, and fragmented visual units. Through hundreds of painted canvases composed of imagined data forms, the works examine how the speed and abstraction of digital systems can be grounded in the slowness, tactility, and materiality of painting.<\/p>\n \u201cWe wanted to imagine infinite units, each representing a lived moment. For us, time, data, context, and urgency often become ways of seeing. These unique bars read like data sets, each marking the present, while carrying traces of the practices that have shaped our journey over time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u2013 Thukral & Tagra, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n Living across online and offline realms, our experiences are increasingly archived, measured, and reshaped through algorithmic rituals. In this evolving digital condition, Mimesis asks what it means to inhabit worlds built through data, repetition, and mediated images. Can pixels become the new atom of memory and emotion? Can systems of code hold traces of intimacy, absence, surveillance, or care? As technology thrives on acceleration and art insists on slowness, the exhibition opens a space to reflect on how we see, feel, remember, and remain human within increasingly digital lives.<\/p>\n Initiated in 2022, parts of Mimesis have been presented at Nature Morte, New Delhi; the SCAD Museum of Art, Savannah; Jaipur Centre for Art, Jaipur; and Kamalnayan Bajaj Art Gallery, Mumbai.<\/p>\n \n This also marks Ashvita\u2019s first exhibition at their newly launched white cube gallery space in Chennai. The exhibition is presented in an expansive format, accompanied by a studio-signature newsletter featuring a text by Chirag Thakkar.<\/p>\n
\nThe exhibition is on view till Friday, the 17th of July
\nTuesday\u2013Saturday | 4:00 PM \u2013 7:00 PM<\/strong> (by Prior Appointment)<\/strong><\/p>\n
