A solo exhibition by Indian artist Atul Mahajan (India).
Atul Mahajan’s work examined the relationship between art, nature, and the viewer, using sculpture and drawing to engage with themes of ecological sustainability and human interaction with the environment. Nature was both inspiration and material in his practice. By incorporating natural and recycled materials into his sculptures, Mahajan highlighted the delicate balance of ecosystems and encouraged reflection on humanity’s role in their preservation.
At the core of Mahajan’s artistic philosophy was engagement. His paper sculptures and drawings sought to invite interaction, whether through the viewer’s gaze, movement, or introspection. He believed that an artwork was only fully realised when it was experienced, allowing for multiple perspectives and connections.
Through Echoes of Nature, Mahajan fostered awareness and dialogue about the interconnectedness of humanity and the natural world. His work served as a quiet yet powerful reminder of the fragile equilibrium that existed within nature, one that demanded both appreciation and responsibility.
The Gujarat State Lalit Kala Akademi in India supported the exhibition.

His practice has been showcased in numerous exhibitions and residencies across India and internationally. Atul lives and works in Baroda, Gujarat, with works in both private and corporate collections.
