Welcome to Art and Charlie
Art and Charlie is a contemporary art gallery that is committed to exploring what lies beyond a traditional white cube. We support and present contemporary artists from India and abroad, with multidisciplinary practices that speak to societal shifts and anthropological inquiries related to our current times. We work closely 10 artists that and have platformed over 50 artists through the years.
At the gallery we have presented 18 exhibitions, including 8 solo exhibitions, from October 2022 to June 2025. We were most recently a part of the Jaipur Center of Art exhibition and last year a part of three art fairs including India Art Fair, Art Mumbai and RAW Collaborative.
As a gallery we are committed to exploring what lies beyond the white cube. We believe that artists and audiences have much to gain from a holistic and immersive engagement with culture, in a way that goes beyond the confines of visual art. We host 6 to 8 events, largely in relation to the ongoing exhibtiion, across performance art, music, comedy, theatre and film at the gallery over weekends. Through such events and our small coffee hatch in the gallery, we engage with new audiences in meaningful ways and encourage discussions around it.
Our new space in Bandra is the perfect spot for avid art appreciators, art collectors as well as those who are now starting to learn about art. Welcome to Bandra’s first art and culture house by Art and Charlie.
Meet the gallerist
An ex-McKinsey consultant and a chartered accountant, Ayesha Parikh's early years after college set her up for all the basic skills for entrepreneurship. That said, what she holds most dear from these years is the opportunity to travel and visit some of the best museums, fairs and galleries of contemporary art the world had to offer. Five years into the workforce, her love for visual art became too hard to ignore and she started attending evening courses at institutions like Sotheby's and Node Center for Curation Studies to learn more about the art world. When the moment presented itself, she left the corporate world to start Art and Charlie in Mumbai.
