In this recent series, ‘The Exhibition’, Varun Kapoor’s compositions layer classical references, architectural forms, and interior spaces with symbolic objects, creating surreal environments where illusion and reality intermingle. The series becomes a study of shifting perspectives, illusions, and transformations within society, alluding to current events and their persistent influence on human thought. Here, the act of viewing itself is central, as Kapoor highlights how individual perception is always entangled with the shared gaze of the collective.
