Kapoor Galleries presents Pantheon of Power for Asia Week New York, Fall 2024. This selection of artworks allows viewers to step into a realm where divinity meets majesty. The formidable powers of South Asian deities and the commanding presence of architectural marvels are to be met face-to-face in this range of paintings, sculptures, prints, and photography.

From the all-encompassing energy of Krishna and the warrior strength of Durga, to the serene scenes of the sacred Jain Temples in Calcutta, these artworks on view reflect the influence these iconographies hold over the cosmos and human life.
