New Delhi, July 14th 2025: Emerging Artist Khushi Khandelwal will be showcasing her first solo art exhibition, which will open on July 18th till July 24th, 2025, at Gallery A, AIFACS (All India Fine Arts & Crafts Society), New Delhi. The art exhibition is titled “What’s Under My Skin?” will be open for public, free of cost, from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm.
“What’s Under My Skin?” is more than a title, it’s an invitation to showcase the complex emotional topography that exists beneath the daily surface, examining individual accounts of worry, inner struggle and psychological exposure.
In this series of work, Khushi intends to bring forward the overall concept of anxiety as a parasite growing inside the human body, which is not visible directly. Her pieces strive to render tangible inner condition, employing metaphor and material to make sense of the unsensory. Having a strong visual language that shifts effortlessly between realism, metaphor, and abstraction, Khushi’s paintings aim to investigate what is beneath the skin—issues of anxiety, emotions, vulnerability, and the internal self.
Using an intuitive mix of media—pencils, paints, markers, and pastels—Khushi creates a multi-textural world where feelings dictate form. Each piece is a standalone reflection, yet together they form a cohesive narrative of internal reckoning and transformation.
“This is my first solo show, and it’s a completely new and thrilling opportunity for me. The theme came from thinking about emotions like anxiety and how they grow inside us, almost like parasites. They take root deep within, but no one sees them unless something is torn open. This exhibition is me cutting open that surface, letting people see what’s really happening underneath,” said Khushi Khandelwal.
The exhibition marks a significant moment in Khushi’s artistic journey, having previously participated in group shows but never on this scale or with this level of personal storytelling. All the original pieces will be up for sale, with a specially chosen set of prints for those who want an even more affordable entry point into the world of Khushi’s Art.
