MALLIKA CHANDRA
Limited edition: 1 of 1 remaining

The microcosmos series explores the quiet intricacies of the natural world through close observation of seemingly ordinary plants and flowers. Each work combines a digital photograph with delicate hand embroidery, allowing the stitched lines to extend, echo, and reinterpret the organic forms within the photographic image.

microcosmos I (little ironweed), microcosmos II (radish blossom), and microcosmos III (cat’s ear) draw attention to plants that are often overlooked, whether growing in a garden, amongst other vegetation, or considered weeds. Through the intimate scale of the photographs and the tactile quality of the embroidery, these small botanical encounters are transformed into imagined landscapes or miniature worlds.

The series reflects on the beauty found in the unnoticed and ephemeral, inviting the viewer to pause and look closely at the complexity contained within even the most familiar forms of plant life.

    bloomscrolling in the veggie garden - Mallika Chandra

    ₹35000

    bloomscrolling in the veggie garden presents a vertical sequence of botanical photographs gathered from the vegetable garden. Arranged like a visual scroll, each image records a different flower or moment of bloom, creating a quiet rhythm of colour, texture, and form. Hand embroidery adds an organic thread through the photographic sequence, while the teak-wood hanging structure and beeswax finish give the work the character of a tactile, handmade object. The piece becomes both a botanical archive and an invitation to slow down and notice what is flowering around us.

  • In the Early Evening - Pixie

    In the Early Evening - Pixie

    ₹95000

    In the Early Evening is a tall, atmospheric landscape that captures the transition between daylight and night. A glowing sun or moon hangs over a richly coloured landscape, while twisting vegetation and organic forms create a sense of depth and movement. The narrow vertical format gives the scene the quality of a distant, unfolding world—quiet, mysterious, and slightly surreal. Deep blues, greens, oranges, and reds heighten the feeling of an imagined landscape suspended between reality and dream.

    Fly on the Wall - Mausam Monga

    ₹65000

    Fly on the Wall is a vibrant mixed-media artwork that brings together portraiture, pattern, nature, and intricate hand-work. A richly detailed figure emerges against a kaleidoscopic landscape of peacock-like forms, organic textures, bold checks, and luminous colour. The work combines gouache and oil pastels with delicate brass elements and organic materials, creating a tactile surface that rewards closer looking. Playful yet contemplative, the composition explores the relationship between the human figure and the fantastical world that surrounds it.

    ₹117000

    River Beneath The River I & II is a sculptural exploration of water, movement and the spaces that exist beneath the surface. The two suspended forms mirror and complement one another, combining geometric structures with elongated, flowing elements that evoke the movement of a river. Made from paper, bamboo and cotton thread, the works balance delicacy and structure, creating an almost weightless presence that shifts with light and shadow.

    Whisper of the Stars - Pixie

    Whisper of the Stars presents a fantastical encounter between human-like figures and an otherworldly landscape. Set against an intensely coloured forest and rippling water, the elongated figures appear immersed in a quiet, mysterious exchange with their surroundings. Saturated reds, blues, oranges, and purples create a dreamlike atmosphere, while the expressive forms lend the work a sense of myth and timelessness. The painting invites the viewer into a world where nature, imagination, and the human figure exist in an ambiguous and poetic space.

    ₹35000

    bloomscrolling amongst the weeds turns its attention to the overlooked flora that grows beyond the cultivated garden. A series of close-up botanical photographs traces the varied shapes, colours, and fleeting beauty of wild growth, while hand embroidery introduces an additional layer of movement and tactility. Suspended from teak wood, the work recalls a traditional scroll while reimagining it as a contemporary record of everyday botanical encounters. It is a celebration of the beauty that persists without cultivation, care, or permission.

    Portrait of a Lady - Pixie

    ₹270000

    Portrait of a Lady is a striking contemporary portrait defined by bold colour and stylised form. The figure’s luminous yellow-green complexion contrasts dramatically with deep blue hair and a vivid red garment, creating an arresting visual presence. Intricate, sculptural lines shape the hair and frame the face, giving the portrait an almost fantastical quality. Rather than pursuing conventional realism, the work uses colour, geometry, and expression to create a character that feels both familiar and otherworldly.
