The next artist we'd like to introduce in Shape of Attention is Harsh Nambiar (b. 1989, India).

Working primarily in oil, Nambiar draws inspiration from altarpieces and the traditions of Romanesque and Gothic painting. He is interested in the relationship between enchantment and the uncanny, or rather the relationship between the mystical and a reality that appears unreal.

Nambiar’s work resists immediate meaning, and instead embraces that which will always be partially unknowable. Instead of telling allegories or tales, he explores shape and form that celebrate devotion and act as visitations that leave behind wondrous and indelible traces on the soul of the viewer. 

Nambiar received his BA in Art History from Columbia University (2012). He has presented solo exhibitions at Anant Art Gallery (2023) and Almost Gods (2026), and has participated in group shows and fairs including India Art Fair and Art Mumbai.

Shape of Attention, curated by Manya Kochhar, features 10 artists: Maithili Chaturvedi, Abhimanue Govindan, Chathurika Jayani, Shivangi Kalra, Smita Shajith, Ashna Malik, Harsh Nambiar, Gayan Prageeth, Aditya Puthur, and Arinjoy Sen.

Please join us for the opening reception on 14th May, 2026, at Aicon Contemporary.

Join us at Gallery XXL for 𝕎𝕙𝕖𝕟 𝕄𝕒𝕥𝕖𝕣𝕚𝕒𝕝𝕤 ℝ𝕖𝕞𝕖𝕞𝕓𝕖𝕣, a conversation featuring artists Jumu and Harsh Nambiar, Almost Gods Founder and Creative Director Dhruv Khurana (@almostdhruv), and Gallery XXL curator Sarah Malik (@sarahsmalik).

This conversation explores the memories embedded within materials and the ways culture is transmitted through tangible forms. Moving across art, design, and creative practice, the speakers will reflect on how materiality opens portals to cultural resilience, world-building, and the politics of belonging.

Drawing from their multidisciplinary practices, Jumu (@jumumonster), Harsh (@hrnambiar), and Dhruv will trace how symbols, colours, and materials intersect to construct worlds rooted in lived histories, inherited narratives, and imagined pasts, revealing how we reconcile with these histories in the present.

📍 Gallery XXL, A-277, Defence Colony, New Delhi - 110024
🗓 01.02.26
⏰ 6 - 7 PM
