Jitish Kallat’s (b. 1974, Mumbai, India) practice engages the intersections of science, historical memory, existential inquiry, and planetary consciousness. Working across painting, sculpture, photography, installation, and public projects, Kallat develops layered visual languages that draw upon time, measurement, archival material, and natural processes as tools for sense-making. His works often shift perspectives across scales of space and time, juxtaposing the everyday with the cosmic, the present with deep history, and the terrestrial with the celestial.

Kallat has exhibited extensively at major international institutions including the Art Institute of Chicago; Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; Philadelphia Museum of Art; Ian Potter Museum of Art, Melbourne; Frist Art Museum, Nashville; and Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum, Mumbai. His work has been presented at institutions such as Tate Modern, London; Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin; Mori Art Museum, Tokyo; Serpentine Galleries, London; Pirelli HangarBicocca, Milan; and Kunstmuseum, Bern, and he has participated in the Venice, Gwangju, Havana, Curitiba, and Kiev Biennales. He was Curator and Artistic Director of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale 2014.
Kallat’s work will be on view in the major solo exhibition Conjectures on a Paper Sky, presented by the Saat Saath Arts Foundation at the Centre for Contemporary Art, Bikaner House, New Delhi. Curated by Alexandra Munroe, the exhibition will be on view from 4–10 February 2026.

He lives and works in Mumbai.
