ENDURING FORMS

Event Name: Enduring Forms
Artists: Piraji Sagara

If form holds memory and material speaks of time lived in hand and mind, Enduring Forms reveals the quiet voice of sculpture shaped through decades of practice and persistence. The exhibition brings together a selection of wooden and marble works created between the 1980s and 1990s, inviting viewers to trace the artist’s sustained dialogue with shape, surface and balance.

Piraji Sagara (1931–2014) was an influential artist and educator whose practice foregrounded reverence for material and line. This solo show — the first presentation of his sculptural works since his passing — highlights a lesser-known yet deeply personal facet of his visual vocabulary, underscoring his contribution to modern Indian sculpture.

The exhibition offers an opportunity to encounter works that endure beyond their making, where each form seems to hold echoes of history, touch and contemplation. Visitors can reflect on the quiet power of material presence, and how durable forms carry forward questions of memory, presence and the body’s imprint in space.
