Monsoon Meridian — new paintings
Ten works made across one Bombay monsoon — oil, ink and cold wax readings of the city between Sassoon Dock and the Sea Link. Scroll the wall; every work carries its full label.

The print house
From studio wall to your wall, uncompromised.
Downstairs is the gallery; upstairs is a twelve-colour giclée studio where every edition is proofed beside the original under D50 gallery light — the artist signs only when the print is indistinguishable.

02
Editioned & embossed
Printed on Hahnemühle cotton rag, hand-numbered, blind-embossed with the CHITRAKALA chop.
03
Signed & certified
Artist signature in pencil plus a serialised certificate of authenticity registered to you.
04
Framed & shipped insured
Museum glass, sealed backing, double-wall art crate — insured door-to-door across India.

Words from the walls we’ve filled.
“The wall preview sold me before the viewing room did. The Vaidya arrived exactly the size the screen promised — to the centimetre.”

Rhea Mehta
Collector, Cuffe Parade
“We furnished two floors of our Lower Parel office through their editions programme. Certificates, framing, install — one clean handover.”

Questions
Before you collect.
Yes — always. Walk in any day except Monday, 11:00–19:00. Openings are ticket-free too; join the WhatsApp list and we’ll send you the invite for each new show.
Each room photograph is calibrated against a known object — a 2.2 m sofa, a 1.4 m desk — so the artwork is scaled centimetre-true relative to it. For your own room, WhatsApp us a photo with any one measurement and we’ll send back a calibrated preview.
A fixed, artist-approved run (20–50 prints) made in our own studio on archival cotton rag. Each is hand-numbered, signed in pencil and embossed; when the run sells out it is never reprinted, in any size, ever.
Originals can be reserved with 30% and settled over three interest-free monthly instalments through the gallery. The work ships on final payment; editions are payment-on-order.
Pan-India in insured art crates (3–7 days). International shipping is quoted per work with full export paperwork; we ship regularly to Dubai, Singapore and London.
Twice a year, in June and December. Send ten images and a note to the gallery WhatsApp with the subject “Portfolio”; every submission gets a written reply within six weeks.
