Parallels of Perception, an ongoing group exhibition by The Quartz Collective, is on view from 8 to 15 June 2026 at Shridharani Art Gallery, Triveni Kala Sangam, New Delhi. The show features artists Nitasha Jaini, Gitanjali Kashyap, Ritu Aggarwal, Ritu Singh Panday, and Shikha Gupta, and is curated by Georgina Maddox.
The exhibition brings together five women artists whose practices move across figuration, abstraction, geometry, mixed media, and art therapy. According to the curatorial note, the project is also framed as the first group exhibition of The Quartz Collective, presented as a shared effort rooted in artistic perception and expression.
The curator positions the show within the broader history of women’s collectives, describing them as networks of resistance, support, and cultural intervention in male-dominated art spaces. The exhibition explores how women artists negotiate identity, form, and space through distinct visual languages.
Nitasha Jaini’s figurative work examines the pressures of corporate masculinity and urban ambition through the image of men navigating a rigid cityscape. Gitanjali Kashyap’s works use line, repetition, and geometry to create meditative, optical compositions shaped by abstraction and interiority. Ritu Aggarwal and Ritu Singh Panday extend the exhibition’s range through architectural illusion, mixed media, ecological reflection, and cosmic imagery, while Shikha Gupta introduces a therapeutic dimension through collaborative and text-based works concerned with memory, trauma, and healing.
In Parallels of Perception, The Quartz Collective presents a thoughtful and varied meditation on women’s artistic agency, with each artist bringing a distinct yet resonant voice to the exhibition. Together, the works create a layered experience that moves between critique, introspection, and resilience.
