Unstitched Narrative
Panchali Sheth
5 November - 29 November
Opening Event: Wed 12 November, 6pm-8pm
Unstitched Narrative presents Panchali Sheth’s paintings, works on paper, and installations that explore how the past and present meet in contemporary form. Inspired by the visual language of Indian miniatures and its narrative, Sheth reimagines traditional motifs through abstraction, gesture, and vibrant colours. Her works unravel layered memories, stories, and emotions threads that connect culture, history, and personal experience. Through this blending of old and new, Unstitched Narrative becomes a space where time overlaps and meanings shift, inviting viewers to reflect on how inherited traditions can find fresh expression in today’s world.

About the Artist
Panchali Sheth
Panchali Sheth is an Indian-born artist based in Sydney, Australia, She has a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) (COFA).
Pancahali completed an artist residency in New York with Visual school of art and in France in 2022.
Her paintings often explore interplay between abstract and drawn images and tend to be suggestive of figures from Indian mythology and its narratives. These figures are not literal representations but are rather semi-abstract and gestural, allowing viewers to engage with the artwork on multiple levels.
Panchalis creative process is an intuitive and iimpulsive approach. It evolves organically through a series of layers involving colours and mark-making.
