FEATURED ARTISTS

AVIJIT DUTTA
Avijit Dutta’s moody, immersive artworks explore the nebulous nature of imagination and time. Through his interpolation of methodical still-life natural elements, intimate figures, and hazy backgrounds, he conjures questions of memory and nostalgia.
EXPLORE
BHASKAR RAO BOTCHA
Bhaskar Rao Botcha’s experimentation with figurative and street art led him to natural landscapes, consequently developing his profound, sensory interest in trees – which were to become the core element of his works.
EXPLORE
G SUBRAMANIAN
G Subramanian grew up in a village in coastal Tamil Nadu amidst folk performers and theatre troupes. His father was a stage artist, and this early exposure to make-up, costumes, screens and props shaped his unique, dramatic aesthetic vision.
EXPLORE
GANAPATI HEGDE
Ganapati Hegde paints half-real, half-imagined worlds, layered with fantastical and unexpected elements that depict the rapturously green and radiant landscape of North Karnataka’s coast where he grew up.
EXPLORE
GURUSIDDAPPA G E
Gurusiddappa’s dreamlike, fantastical paintings offer sharp, witty commentaries on contemporary society, urbanisation, and the costs of development on the world around us. His works provoke viewers to examine their impact on the world around them.
EXPLORE
MANISH CHAVDA
Human figures rarely inhabit Manish Chavda’s world, and the animals and birds found in his landscapes are always few in number. He strives in his work to evoke a meditative experience, expressing the inner life of things through his slow and savoured process.
EXPLORE
PRIYANKA AELAY
Priyanka Aelay’s acrylic works unfold like magic realist tales filled with birds, beasts, animals, trees and flowers in bold, vibrant colours. Her mythical, enchanted forests are filled with intricate motifs, exquisite patterns and striking imagery.
EXPLORE
SANDILYA THEUERKAUF
In the Deccan scrublands, Sandilya Theuerkauf finds his muses and material in thorns, wood, and bark. With these natural materials, he creates complex intricate assemblages— unique tapestries woven thickly with thorns or carefully laden with bark.
EXPLORE
SIDDHARTH SHINGADE
Siddharth Shingade recreates Tuljapur, where he grew up, in his artworks as he remembers it – through the prism of his memories, visions and imagination. Imbued with nostalgia, his richly layered acrylics celebrate the resilience of his people.
EXPLORE
YUVAN BOTHYSATHUVAR
Yuvan Bothysathuvar creates an optical wonderland with his abstract collages. Spellbinding at first glance, their hypnotic patterns and bright pops of colour soon give way to a luminous, giddy world of strips, blobs, spangles, whorls and waves.

TESTIMONIALS

Nishika Ramaswami — Denver, USA
"It was a real treat to check out all the pieces, and the space is very well curated! I actually bought more than I was looking for, it was hard to choose!"
Bubli Srikanth — India
"Even if I do not pick up anything, the gallery transports me to another world and I come out feeling at peace. The art and the curator both leave you moved."
Shwetha Rao Warke — Thane, India
"I fell in love with a painting at the KYNKYNY booth, and it became the first painting that I bought for my new home!"
Saahil Parikh — Mumbai, India
"I discovered KYNKYNY at the AD Design Show 2023, and immediately liked their collection of contemporary Indian art on display."
Farah Ahmed Mathias — Bengaluru, India
"I think Namu and Vivek are trail blazers because they have not just found artists that are unique, but they always connect with these artists at a human level."
Vismay Sharma — Singapore
"We have now bought several pieces from the gallery, and the experience every time has been outstanding."
Ravi Chauhan – Bengaluru, India
"Every time we feel the need to buy a new piece, we start browsing the many good galleries in Bangalore, but always end up buying from KYNKYNY because of their excellent curation."
Vijaya Bhargav – Bangalore, India
"As architects we work on various typologies; different spaces need art which ties the theme of the space. Art should compliment the material palette that we work with. With these aspects in mind, at KYNKYNY, I always found art which was apt for a particular space."
Lakshmi K – Bengaluru, India
"I've grown up watching dad collect art, and I vividly remember him bringing home the first painting from KYNKYNY back in 2005 - a Ganesha by the eminent Basuki Dasgupta."
Indira Krishnamurthi — Bengaluru, India
"KYNKYNY introduced me to works by
G Subramanian and Siddharth Shingade, and, despite having purchased works by Ganapati Hegde earlier, completely new stories and ideas came through the gallery."
