About the artwork

Step into the immersive world of "Present Present," an exhibition that unravels the profound dimensions of the current moment through the lens of Nachiket Prakash, an artist deeply entwined with the concept of time. In this collection, the artist's exploration of the present moment takes center stage, offering a contemplative journey that transcends the constraints of past and future.


The exhibit unfolds as a series of visual perspectives, each presenting a nuanced facet of the present where Nachiket's obsession with the immediacy of the moment is palpable in every work. Traditional mediums such as painting and sculpture coalesce with innovative installations, creating an environment that encourages viewers to immerse in an exploration of the sensory and emotional dimensions of the present, transcending the confines of a clock or calendar.


"Present Present" is an ode to the now. It delves into the dichotomy of stillness and movement, inviting contemplation on the fluidity of time as it dances through our lives. More than an art exhibit; it is an opportunity to pause and savor the richness of the present moment that, in the artist's hands, becomes an eternal present, frozen in the boundlessness of time.
