Established in 2012, Art Centrix Space works with mid-career contemporary Indian artists to voice contemporary artistic inquiry reflecting the diverse vision of the Indian subcontinent. Our gallery stands as a visual testimony to the timeless interplay of imagination, imagery, and transformative visual experiences. Over the past decade, we have curated more than 40 exhibitions and participated in the India Art Fair from 2018 to 2025, as well as Art Mumbai in 2024, consistently showcasing our represented artists whose works have now been collected by museums and placed in major private and institutional collections.
A significant milestone in our journey was the expansion into our current gallery premises - a unique 3,500-square-foot space set within a beautifully landscaped 2.5-acre environment in the heart of South Delhi. We remain committed to providing the essential stimulus needed for artistic and curatorial practices, creating an even larger platform for collaborative exhibition-making in New Delhi, the hub of Indian contemporary art.
Art Centrix Space specially focuses on vernacular voices of mid-career contemporary Indian artists to develop South Asian artistic practices through exchanges, programmes, and curatorial interventions aimed at increasing visibility, fostering broader associations, and expanding the territory of Indian contemporary art.
We are committed to investing in our artists for the long term, grounded in shared values and trust, to establish internationally recognised contemporary Indian narratives for both artists and collectors to cherish equally. In 2024, Art Centrix Space introduced Art Centrix Grants, celebrating diverse painting methodologies in Indian art. We have been patrons of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale since 2018.
