Artist Swati Pasari's solo exhibition Two And A Half Letters opened on August 17 at CCA Gallery, Bikaner House, New Delhi. The show presents over 50 works including paintings, sculptures and frames exploring spirituality, love and inner peace. Curated by Yash Vikram and presented by Eikowa, the exhibition draws its title from Kabir's couplet about the two-and-a-half letters of love being the true path to wisdom.
Born in Varanasi, Pasari works in abstract painting and cast-bronze sculpture, giving form to intangible experiences and emotions. The curator describes her practice as one that proposes joy not as escape but as a way of encountering life. The exhibition runs until August 22.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Pasari's Varanasi roots inform a practice that draws on the bhakti tradition of Kabir, making her work part of a lineage that runs parallel to mainstream Indian modernism. The two-and-a-half letters reference is not merely decorative: it anchors the exhibition in a well-known couplet that critiques book-learning, which has resonance in an art world often heavy with theory. The show runs only a week, a short window that places pressure on the Delhi audience to visit quickly. CCA Gallery at Bikaner House has become a favoured venue for such curated spiritual-contemporary crossovers. Whether the exhibition translates Kabir's radical idea of love as knowledge into accessible visual terms will be tested by viewer engagement before the August 22 close.
