Emami Art is pleased to present Chance remains of another time, an exhibition of new and recent paintings by Suman Dey, opening on March 20, 2026. This is Dey’s second solo, after his first solo presentation at the gallery in 2023.

This exhibition is a meditation on the passage of time. Pouring forth from an artist who has lived in a city all his life, the paintings featured in this exhibition gather his ordinary everyday experiences in urbanity and weave them into something extraordinary. In pursuit of documenting the memories and traces left by his interactions with certain physical spaces and natural forms, a new format emerges in the polyptych works presented for the first time in this exhibition.

By arranging smaller, fragmented parts to make a whole, Dey welds together diverse, heterogeneous elements – images, sights, signs, and emotions -- within a single artwork. This act of amalgamation mirrors the fragmentation of both city structure and urban memory owing to rapid and relentless expansion. With this, he holds together notions of celebration and decay, memory and loss, all at the same time.
