Sanctum: Gujral, a permanent rotating chamber dedicated to the works and evolving artistic resonance of Satish Gujral, presented by RGAL | Raseel Gujral Art Legacy at Arzaani Atelier Privé, Bikaner House, New Delhi.
Conceived as an intimate sanctum at the heart of Arzaani, the space is envisioned not as a conventional gallery, but as a dynamic cultural environment for art, dialogue, and discovery.
At its core, Sanctum: Gujral presents a continually evolving rotation of original artworks, limited-edition prints, drawings, sculptures, and select editions connected to the enduring creative language of Satish Gujral. The initiative creates a lasting address where collectors, patrons, architects, designers, and younger audiences may engage with the work beyond the temporary framework of exhibitions and fairs.
Designed as an immersive environment rather than a retail display, Sanctum invites visitors into an active experience of looking—one rooted in curiosity, materiality, memory, and artistic exchange. “For my father, art was not meant for intellectual dissection or consumption. The work was complete once the form had found its integrity. Its purpose was not explanation, but to encounter an engagement with the viewer’s own sensibility and state of being. It simply invites the viewer to immerse, engage and absorb the work on their own terms allowing meaning to arise through presence rather than instruction,” added Raseel Gujral Ansal.
The chamber will host rotating curatorial presentations throughout the year, including thematic explorations of Gujral’s paintings, charcoals, sculptures, and architectural sensibilities.
Satish Gujral’s Liberty Series stands among the artist’s most evocative explorations of freedom, identity, and human resilience. Created during a period of deep reflection in his practice, the series reflects Gujral’s ability to merge emotional intensity with architectural structure and symbolic form. Through layered compositions, textured surfaces, and powerful figurative language, the works examine the idea of liberty not merely as a political condition, but as a deeply personal and existential pursuit. The series remains significant for its timeless relevance and its ability to speak across generations, embodying Gujral’s enduring engagement with memory, displacement, and the human spirit.
In June, Sanctum will showcase works from Satish Gujral’s celebrated Liberty Series, offering visitors a focused presentation of one of the artist’s significant bodies of work.
In addition to original works, Sanctum will introduce a carefully developed series of museum-quality limited editions and artist folios, enabling a wider generation of collectors to participate in the legacy while preserving the integrity and rarity of the originals.
Over time, Sanctum is envisioned as an evolving cultural salon—a place for intimate conversations, curated encounters, and artistic exchange.
With Sanctum: Gujral, Arzaani continues its commitment to creating spaces where art and cultural memory may exist not as static artefacts, but as living conversations.
