The Annual Group Show at Triveni Kala Sangam remains one of Delhi’s most rigorous platforms for contemporary practice — a space where painting, sculpture, and ceramics converse without hierarchy. The 2026 edition continues that legacy, bringing together diverse voices under one roof in the heart of Mandi House. Among this year’s selections are two compelling works: Uchchaishravahas_, a painting rooted in the churning of the cosmic ocean, and a second work titled, Untitled.Uchchaishravahas draws from the episode of Samundra Manthan, invoking the emergence of the divine seven-headed horse as a symbol of power, purity, and aspiration. The work reinterprets myth not as distant iconography but as living energy. Through layered surfaces and a restrained palette, the painting balances grandeur with intimacy. The horse becomes less illustration and more presence — a force that gallops through time, connecting ancient narrative to contemporary questions of ambition, chaos, and transcendence. In a city negotiating tradition and speed daily, the painting asks how we still churn meaning from our own restless oceans.In contrast, Untitled refuses the comfort of names. By withholding a title, the work shifts agency to the viewer. It opens space for silence, ambiguity, and personal encounter. Here, material leads: texture, form, and gesture carry the weight of interpretation. Where Uchchaishravahas anchors itself in epic memory, Untitled insists on the present moment — on what art can be before language claims it.Together, the two selections map a spectrum that defines Triveni’s curatorial spirit. One work reaches back into shared mythology to locate contemporary relevance; the other steps away from narrative altogether, trusting the visual to speak on its own terms. Shown side by side at the Annual Group Show 2026, they remind us that art thrives in tension — between story and abstraction, between the named and the nameless.Triveni Kala Sangam has long been a crucible where such dialogues are tested before a discerning Delhi audience. This year, Uchchaishravahas and Untitled extend that conversation, inviting viewers not just to look, but to linger.We at artlife are excited to look forward to both chosen work .
