After Silence by Harshh Kumar

AFTER SILENCE BY HARSHH KUMAR

METHOD KALA GHODA
MAY 16 - JUN 15 2025

After Silence is a meditation on presence, intuition, and the quiet force of emotion. Drawing from shifting geographies, both internal and external, the works in this exhibition trace a path through memory, movement, and the natural world. Inspired by the textures of landscape and the rhythm of lived experience, the artist offers a language of abstraction that resists order and embraces the uncertain.

Each mark carries the weight of feeling rather than form, rejecting structure in favor of flow. In these compositions, silence is not absence but intensity, the stillness beneath surface noise. Here, color emerges not as decoration but as echo; a gesture becomes a conversation; and the landscape, no longer a place, becomes a state of being.

This is an invitation to slow down, to sense, and to simply be. After silence.
