Coinciding with the 17th edition of the India Art Fair, Dhoomimal Gallery, under the direction of Uday and Sunaina Jain, presents Print Age—a major survey exhibition exploring the evolution and endurance of printmaking in the age of artificial intelligence. The exhibition opens to the public on February 4, 2026, and runs until March 15, 2026, at Dhoomimal Gallery, Connaught Place, New Delhi.
Print Age brings together 156 prints by 80 artists, tracing historical and contemporary trajectories within the printmaking tradition. The selection spans global masters such as Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, and Anish Kapoor to significant figures in modern and contemporary Indian printmaking including K. Laxma Goud, Jyoti Bhatt, A. Ramachandran, and Anupam Sud. The exhibition also spotlights emerging printmakers experimenting with new technologies and conceptual frameworks.
The survey features a wide range of print techniques—woodcut, linocut, lithography, serigraphy, etching, aquatint, and chromolithography—alongside more recent digital and AI-adjacent practices. While artificial intelligence is transforming the visual culture of image-making, Print Age underscores the continued vitality and material resonance of traditional printmaking processes.
Curated by Johny ML, the exhibition positions Indian printmaking within a larger cultural continuum shaped by centuries of print culture. “Our visual landscape has been shaped by print culture over the centuries,” JohnyML remarks, pointing to the contributions of noted private and institutional collections from Baroda, Ahmedabad, and Delhi. The works on view include selections from collectors such as Ravin (Ahmedabad) and Hitesh Rana (Baroda), as well as studio productions by Dushyant Patel and Rajesh Makwana and historic works from the Dhoomimal Gallery archive.
According to Uday Jain, Director of Dhoomimal Gallery, the show responds to a global resurgence of interest in prints as collectible and intellectually rigorous art forms. “Collectors today are beginning to understand not only the historic but also the material value of limited-edition prints by established master printmakers,” says Jain. Dhoomimal’s long-standing support of emerging artists through the Ravi Jain Memorial Foundation awards strengthens this sustained commitment to the medium.
