Bhupendra Karia Exhibitions

BHUPENDRA KARIA: SMALL BOX
December 6, 2018-January 19, 2019

A solo exhibition with selected work from the Karia Estate. The majority of work within this exhibition is taken from one small box found in the archive,  a box unusual in both subject matter and size.  Printed by Karia in the mid 1970s, the fifty photographs within the exhibition cover eleven years, 1959-1970, and include work from his three major series, Old India, New India and Bombay.  The photographs are steeped in both deep cultural awareness and unique personal vision, reflecting Karia’s ethereal yet formally rigorous photographic eye. 

BOUNCE
October 20 – December 2, 2017

A group show that explores confrontational and performative portraiture by seven artists working in installation, video, and photography. The exhibition features the work of Vivan Sundaram, Joaquin Trujillo, Pamela Singh, Angelika Sher, Nandita Raman, Soumya Sankar Bose, Serena Chopra and surprises from the private collection of Nigel Maister.

TRANSITIONS AND TRAJECTORIES:
THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF BHUPENDRA KARIA
27 October – 15 December 2015

In association with the Focus Festival in Mumbai sepia EYE is delighted to present a solo exhibition Transitions and Trajectories: The Photographs of Bhupendra Karia. The 18 black and white photographs taken in the 1960s and 70s are deeply steeped in both cultural awareness and personal vision, reflecting Bhupendra Karia’s ethereal yet formally rigorous photographic eye. The exhibition has gone on to travel to other venues in India.

RECTANGULAR SQUARES
September 19–November 1, 2014

A group exhibition featuring the work of sixteen artists whose photographic images conjure suggestion out of structure, semblance out of geometry. Photography, despite its seemingly tenacious bond to descriptive reality, is in essence a fiction, a visual improvisation both generated and made tangible by the very borders that define it: the rectangle or the square.
