Sahil Mehra

Education: Bachelor of Fine Arts (Sculpture), College of Art, New Delhi

Artistic Style: The artist’s practice functions as a calculated interrogation of the self and the art object through the lens of visual paradox and institutional critique. By subverting modernist tropes and the conventional "art as education" philosophy, the work creates a sharp satire of learned aesthetics while exploring the fluid, "intoxicated yet alert" state of human consciousness. Each piece—whether exploring the labor of non-functional instruments, the rhythmic nesting of expanding shells, or the tautological labeling of raw stone—inhabits the friction between material reality and linguistic definition. Driven by an interest in the tension between abundance and detachment, the artist utilizes diverse materials to map the psyche’s internal landscape. The resulting sculptures refuse singular answers, existing instead as a continuous, detached observation of the space between presence and void, and the transition from subject to object
