“Shunyata | Emptiness”: Abhay K.’s Art Explores the Silence Behind All Form

Apr 06, 2025

Renowned artist and poet Abhay K. unveiled his latest exhibition, “Shunyata | Emptiness,” on April 5, 2025, offering a profound meditation on impermanence. Drawing inspiration from the Heart Sutra’s line “Form is emptiness, and emptiness is form,” the series delves into the Buddhist concept of Shunyata. Sparked by a moment of reflection in front of a blank canvas, Abhay K. captures the fleeting nature of existence through minimalist strokes and recurring motifs like circles—symbolizing both creation and dissolution. His art appears vivid up close but fades from afar, echoing life’s constant transformations. Merging Eastern philosophy with Western thought, the exhibition resonates with Schopenhauer’s reflections on emptiness. Abhay K.'s work is more than visual—it’s experiential, urging viewers to feel the essence of change and silence. The exhibition leaves a lingering impact, inviting deep introspection and spiritual stillness.
