‘What Little Remains’ brings together six contemporary practices around a simple but recurring question – what stays with us when things change? The exhibition looks at the traces that experiences leave behind—within our bodies, memories, surroundings and the places we inhabit. Across the works, the artists engage with changing landscapes, urban spaces, nature,
personal histories, labour and lived experience, each approaching these subjects through a distinct visual language. Memory runs through the exhibition, not as a xed record of the past, but as something that changes with time. A familiar place much changed can still hold a sense of recognition. A personal experience can fade, while its emotional imprint remains. A landscape can be transformed, while fragments of what existed before continue to surface. The works also bring attention to the relationship between the natural and the built environment. Architecture, streets, industrial structures and everyday spaces sit alongside trees, vegetation and other forms of organic life. There is a sense of both tension and coexistence—of what is being lost, what is adapting, and what continues to nd a way to exist. Alongside these broader questions, the exhibition remains deeply connected to personal experience. Loss, care, belonging, responsibility and everyday encounters become ways of understanding the world around us. Materials themselves carry part of this conversation: layers, marks, textures and surfaces become records of time, use and memory. Sometimes, what remains is not the thing itself, but the feeling, memory or impression it leaves behind. ‘What Little Remains’ is an invitation to pause, look closely, and consider how these traces continue to shape the way we experience the present.

Suvvro P Basu

My urban landscapes are deeply inspired from Industrial structures, gigantic buildings, architectural ruins, foot bridges and different man made structures. The overarching themes in my work suggests that the built environment, from monumental skylines to neglected back alleys, speaks a language that profoundly reflects the human experience.

Working in oil, primarily with scrapers and knives, I approach the canvas with an unorthodox, sculptural process to mirror the city’s raw energy. This impasto technique, building thick, textured surfaces and sharp, geometric lines, visually translates the weight of history and the chaotic vitality inherent in architecture. Crucially, my focus on “urban discovery” highlights architectural elements often overlooked, metal railings, narrow alleys, staircases, and aging ruins. These spaces, with their accumulated history and complex geometries, are the unedited, intimate chapters in the city’s architectural narrative. By dissecting and emphasizing the structural geometry through sharp perspective and abstraction, I aim to decode the true pulse of city life embedded within these forms.

My goal is not mere depiction, but translation to capture the city’s structure and movement, offering a visceral urban experience inviting viewers to pause and appreciate the hidden beauty in places many overlook, revealing the extraordinary in the ordinary.
