IKKO Art Gallery, an experiential space for art based in Mumbai hosted their first-ever exclusive preview event titled “Mediums of Enclosed Departures”. Curated by Nilesh Kinkale, a renowned experimental contemporary artist, in collaboration with Ikko’s Co-Founder, Ar. Jasleen Changani, the show was a confluence of paintings and sculptural works from leading artists in the country. The preview explored the intricate interplay between memories and their expression in material explorations.

"Mediums of Enclosed Departures" is a dialogue between materiality, memory, and identity. It showcases how contemporary artists navigate the intersections of personal experience, cultural history, and social critique. Through their diverse mediums, these artists contribute to a broader understanding of contemporary art as a reflective and reflexive practice, capable of encapsulating complex narratives of change, loss, and resilience. This exhibition, therefore, not only showcases individual talent but also illuminates the collective endeavour of contemporary artists to engage with the world in all its complexity.

IKKO, inspired by the Punjabi word ‘Ek’ meaning one, stands as an artist’s vision from a designer’s perspective. The gallery intends to blend boundaries between art and architecture. The artwork is made from castaway waste keeping in mind the concepts of reuse and recycle.

Commenting on the occasion of the preview, Jasleen Changani said, “Furthering Ikko’s path to promote art that transcends traditional confinements of visual art discipline. Our space, a black box flooded with natural light and a green envelope, fosters an environment of artistic learning and unlearning, breaking through stereotypical barriers of style and taste. I am honoured and elated to be working with some of the finest names in the industry and it gives me immense pleasure to open the doors of the gallery to Mumbai.”
