At a time when contemporary art often leans towards the monumental, RAJAN ONE at Galerie Mirchandani + Steinruecke in Defence Colony takes a more restrained approach. The exhibition brings together works by artist CK Rajan that build layered ideas from simple materials.Curated by writer and researcher Grant Watson, the show is the first part of a two-part “selected retrospective” spanning works from 1989 to 2022. This opening chapter focusses on the 1990s — a formative period, but one where many of Rajan’s core ideas were already in place. The work shifts over time, but it never really breaks from itself.
