About Method
“The Revolution introduced me to art, and in turn art introduced me to the revolution!”
– Albert Einstein
It’s unclear as to whether Einstein was talking about a political or scientific revolution, but it is evident that art and breaking away are intermingled at the core.
Method is an introspective and “extrospective” approach to art and the world in which it
currently exists. By acknowledging that limitlessness is an inherent characteristic of creativity,
we fall beyond the domain of predetermined outcomes not only as artists but as a community.
In doing so, we transpose and expand with the movement of art. This cultivates collaboration
and experimentation for the purpose of expression as well as discovery.
Method has galleries in Mumbai & New Delhi.
