SIGNS OF LIFE BY KUNEL GAUR
METHOD DELHI
DEC 11 2025 - JAN 25 2026
Signs of Life, a new solo exhibition by multidisciplinary artist Kunel Gaur is a culmination of four series’ that Kunel has been working on, Colour Field Studies, Interface Portraits, KUMI, and Tile Assemblies, the exhibition traces the evolving space between sensorial experience and engineered form.
Across the works, Gaur examines how contemporary life is shaped by the structures, codes, and systems that surround us. Colour, pattern, and industrial precision meet in subtle points of tension, suggesting forms that are neither entirely human nor purely mechanical, but something emergent between the two.In Colour Field Studies, atmospheric colour fields sit within engineered frameworks, creating a quiet encounter between vulnerability and structure. Interface Portraits filters human nuance through the visual logic of consumption, typography, and mass-produced systems, forming portraits that register as both emotional and coded. KUMI draws from Japanese visual culture and Y2K aesthetics to create singular, character-like forms where graphic language becomes object. In Tile Assemblies, patterned surfaces referencing cultural inheritance are held within mechanical restraint, transforming ornament into a fragment that adapts within new systems.
Together, these four bodies of work reveal an ongoing negotiation between the sensorial and the constructed, offering a landscape of forms that signal, respond, and evolve. Signs of Life reflects Gaur’s continued exploration of how identity, memory, and emotion move through the designed world.

Kunel Gaur
Kunel Gaur is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice moves at the intersection of engineered form, visual systems, and contemporary material culture. Rooted in a background in graphic design and architectural sensibility, his work draws from the coded languages of mass production, typography, industrial signage, packaging, mechanical components. and repositions them as sites of emotional, cultural, and perceptual inquiry.
Working across assemblage, interface-based portraiture, sculptural studies, and serial formats, Gaur constructs compositions in which colour, structure, and lived experience meet without fully merging. His works often stage encounters between softness and precision, memory and mechanism, ornament and system, revealing how human presence moves through the designed world.
Gaur’s practice is informed by street visual culture, functional design, Japanese graphic traditions, and the shifting aesthetics of contemporary urban life. Through these influences, he builds a vocabulary that is both exacting and sensorial, exploring the tension between what is felt and what is engineered.
He has exhibited widely across India and internationally, including presentations in New York, Toronto, and multiple solo exhibitions at Method. Gaur continues to expand a visual language that locates meaning within the structures, codes, and material systems that shape modern experience.
