Paperwork

PAPERWORK brings together a selection of drawings made between 2015 and 2024 by the artist Sangram Majumdar. Presented as direct facsimiles, these works open a rare and generous window into Majumdar’s highly layered and iterative drawing process where recurring figurative imagery, decorative motifs, and elements from Indian folklore interweave to explore ideas of intimacy, obfuscation, power dynamics, and bodily gesture. Many of these works closely mirror some of his paintings, while others indicate paths not taken or yet to explored. Bookending these rich and varied images is a wonderfully poetic and luminous text by curator Jordan Amirkhani and an equally insightful conversation with painter Kyle Staver.
