Pritzker Prize-winning architect and celebrated post-modern artist Balkrishna Doshi creates a dialogue between a profound Western influence and a treasury of Indian sensibility – bringing to Doshi’s art, just as in his architecture, a cognitive universality that prioritizes experience and expression. His recent work features canvases, drawings and sculptures, beginning from recognizable impressions of his earlier miniature drawings and blurring into both colourful and colourless planes and fragmented forms.

This never-before-undertaken project titled The Art of Balkrishna Doshi is the first quintessential guide to celebrating Balkrishna Doshi the painter. The book features an extensive interview with Serpentine director Hans Ulrich Obrist shortly before Doshi’s passing in 2023 and also includes a comprehensive catalogue of his life’s work.
