EDGE by LATITUDE 28 will present Time, Fielded, a solo exhibition of recent works by Delhi-based artist Suhani Jain, opening on 17 May 2026 at its Defence Colony space. The exhibition brings together a new body of work that examines how time can be structured, accumulated, and held within the surface through sustained, process-driven mark-making.
Jain’s practice is rooted in repetition and incremental construction, where each line is placed, revisited, and extended over time. Rather than beginning with a predetermined image, her works evolve through sequences of decisions, allowing the surface to carry the trace of its own making. The resulting compositions resist fixed resolution, instead unfolding as fields shaped by duration, variation, and internal logic.
At the core of Time, Fielded is an inquiry into how time operates within such a process. Repetition, in Jain’s work, does not produce sameness but difference. Each return introduces subtle shifts that accumulate across the surface. Guided by simple systems, her works develop through deviations and adjustments, creating visual fields where time appears layered and active rather than linear.
Visually, this approach manifests through rows of short, counted strokes that form grids, bands, and clustered formations. Lines gather at edges, disperse toward the centre, and shift across folds and joins, emphasizing the surface as something continuously worked through. At moments, the system loosens, allowing marks to drift into irregular clusters and gaps, inviting the viewer’s eye to move across rhythms of continuity and disruption.
Bhavna Kakar, Founder-Director of LATITUDE 28, notes that Jain’s work reflects a “quiet rigour” and a commitment to process. “Each line carries forward the memory of the last, building a field through sustained attention and repeated return,” she says, highlighting the exhibition’s emphasis on attentive viewing in contrast to the speed of contemporary visual culture.
Time, Fielded invites viewers to engage closely with the act of looking, tracing how intervals, repetitions, and divisions begin to suggest spatial structures without fully resolving into them. The works unfold over time, offering shifting perceptual experiences with each viewing.
The exhibition will be on view from 17 May 2026 at LATITUDE 28, B-74, Ground Floor, Block B, Defence Colony, New Delhi, and will run daily from 11 AM to 7 PM.
