KM Khushboo’s Solo Exhibition “Everything I Waited to Forget” Set to Open at Art Incept Gurugram

Art Incept presents a solo exhibition by emerging artist KM Khushboo, showcasing a contemplative body of prints exploring themes of memory, impermanence, and transformation. Born in 2001 in Uttar Pradesh, Khushboo holds degrees in Painting from Banaras Hindu University and Printmaking from The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda.

The exhibition features works that reflect Khushboo’s meditative engagement with elemental symbols of mud, water, and fire, embodying cycles of creation and dissolution. Her practice has evolved from early explorations of mortality to deeper contemplations of renewal and transcendence, moving from figural forms toward abstraction.

From the Artist’s Statement: “Through my engagement with text and image, I explore acts of leaving, releasing, and accepting—embracing both wholeness and fragments while remaining open to change.”

Director’s Perspective: Gayatri Singh, Director of Art Incept, states: “We first encountered KM Khushboo at her college exhibition, and her quiet intensity, clarity of thought, and sensitivity to process immediately stood out. Her practice—rooted in reflection, patience, and philosophical enquiry—embodies the very spirit of an artist who listens deeply to the world within and around her.”

Singh adds: “This exhibition is not only a celebration of Khushboo’s journey but also an invitation to be part of the unfolding path of a young artist with immense promise.”

Khushboo has been recognized with the Jeram Patel Award (2024) and the Manorama Young Printmakers Grant (2025). Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including shows in Cincinnati, Delhi, Mumbai, Surat, and Kolkata.

The exhibition, edited and designed by Prima Kurien, transforms printmaking into what the gallery describes as “an act of release—where every etched line becomes both a memory and a letting go.”
