Rahul Jain and Gunjan Arora present Threadarte, a captivating exhibition on reclaimed materials and river-inspired themes, now at Art Centrix Space in New Delhi.
About Rahul Jain’s Threadarte Exhibition
Rahul Jain and Gunjan Arora form Threadarte, a duo with over 20 years of work in sustainable art. They turn waste yarns, old textiles, and metal scraps into bold sculptures and paintings. Prayag Chakradhar’s concept note links these pieces, which focus on ecology and shared effort. The show runs at Art Centrix Space in Vasant Kunj till 31 March 2026.

Rahul Jain’s Material Practice
These artists pick up discarded items from factories and waste sites. They sort, clean, and reshape them with great care. No new threads are bought—every bit tells a story of use and change. “Every discarded thread carries a past; our work begins by recognising its continuity rather than its end,” they say. This method makes their art feel alive with history.
Key Themes in Rahul Jain Works
Rivers shape the new series—think fluid paths that shift land over time. Threads stand for this: weak yet tough, always moving. Steel wires add strength but keep a light, flowing look. Works mix paint and sculpture, with rich textures and soft colours. Viewers sense calm depth in each layered form.
Collaborative Vision Behind Rahul Jain Show
Threadarte thrives on teamwork. The pair links with waste pickers, yarn makers, and local craftspeople. This web builds real sustainability, not just in stuff but in how people connect. Monica Jain, who runs Art Centrix Space, adds: “The show brings together practices deeply invested in material, process, and lived experience.” It fits a big event at Bikaner House marking 14 years of the gallery.
Rahul Jain Exhibition Highlights
In a world of waste and rush, these pieces call for slow care. They show quiet changes in nature, memory, and junk reborn as art. Past shows include India Art Fair and their solo ‘ITERUM’ in 2024. Awards and collections like Kiran Nadar Museum boost their name in green art circles. Fans of eco-art will find much to ponder here.
