Indian contemporary art is marking its final day on Western Australia’s coastline, with a dedicated India showcase concluding today at Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe.
Set along Cottesloe Beach, the exhibition has brought together a group of Indian artists whose works reflect themes of nature, mythology, transformation and perception. The showcase has offered visitors a distinct perspective within one of Australia’s most recognised outdoor art events.
Featured artists include Shovin Bhattacharjee with Cosmic Nest (2024) and Latika Katt presenting Evolution. Subodh Kerkar, invited as an international participant, has exhibited Ocean Odyssey, while Deepak Kumar and Ayesha Singh have contributed Garuda, the Silent Flight and Hybrid Drawing (2024) respectively.
Across the exhibition, the works have explored a mix of cultural references and contemporary ideas, with installations positioned to interact with the coastal environment. The setting has played a visible role in shaping how audiences experience each piece, from shifting light to the movement of the sea.
The showcase has been supported by organisations including the Centre for Australia India Relations and the Consulate General of India, Perth, reflecting ongoing cultural engagement between India and Australia. Backing has also come from a mix of government and cultural groups working to promote artistic exchange.
Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe has continued to draw strong public interest throughout its run, with the India showcase adding an international element to this year’s programme. As the exhibition wraps up today, visitors are making the most of the final opportunity to view the installations along the shoreline.
The closing day is expected to see steady footfall, rounding off an event that has connected artists and audiences through a shared public space.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
