Martand Khosla New Delhi, India, b.1975

Martand Khosla (b. 1975, New Delhi, India) is an artist whose practice explores urban continuity and transformation, shaped by his parallel experience building in contemporary India. He founded and has led the award-winning architecture practice Romi Khosla Design Studios for over two decades. Khosla initially turned to art to examine how construction-fuelled labour shapes identity, memory, and nostalgia.


Positioned as both participant and observer, he employs materials and tools associated with the State—such as the ubiquitous rubber stamp and brick dust collected from his construction sites—to register its imprint on lives shaped by power and dispossession. Brick dust has become a recurring language in his work, allowing material itself to speak to cycles of construction and demolition, permanence and precarity. His practice traverses sculpture and object, movement and remnant, material and memory, foregrounding an object’s intrinsic potential. Through repetition and process, he reflects on the micro-actions that underpin macro-structures, shifting attention from authoritarian power toward its diffusion and transformation.


Khosla has held solo exhibitions at Nature Morte, New Delhi (2016, 2019, 2022, 2025), Seven Art Gallery, New Delhi (2012), and Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi (2012). His work was included in State of Architecture, curated by Rahul Mehrotra, Kaiwan Mehta, and Ranjit Hoskote at the National Gallery of Modern Art, Mumbai (2016). He has participated in group exhibitions including 50 Years After 50 Years of the Bauhaus 1968, Württembergischer Kunstverein, Stuttgart (2018); Food, SESC, São Paulo (2014); This Night Bitten Dawn, Devi Art Foundation and Gujral Foundation, New Delhi (2016); In Other Rooms, GALLERYSKE, Bengaluru (2015); and 10 Chairs, Gallery Espace, New Delhi (2019), among others.

He currently lives and works in New Delhi.
