Sujata Bajaj's 'Spacescapes' Exhibition in Delhi Explores Cosmic Abstraction
From January 30, 2026, to February 14, 2026, Gallery Romain Rolland at Alliance Française de Delhi will host 'Spacescapes,' a solo exhibition by Sujata Bajaj. The Paris-based abstractionist draws inspiration from cosmic visuals captured by NASA's Hubble and James Webb telescopes. Her journey began in 2019 when she discovered a Hubble image of the Andromeda galaxy, leading her to develop paintings with as many as 25 layers of acrylic paint, enhanced with gold and silver leaf. Bajaj, who holds a PhD in Indian Tribal Art from S.N.D.T. University and studied at École Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris, consulted with astrophysicist David Elbaz. Notable works include 'Spacescapes, Stardust Series' and 'Spacescapes, Celestial River.'
