Painting by Tarun and Tushar Joshi: dark horses breaking out through a cracked plaster wall

Some paintings stay on the wall. These are about to step off it.

A first look

Three of the paintings.

The whole collection opens this Diwali. Until then, three from the studio — photographed from the canvases themselves.

What opens this Diwali

A studio, not a showroom.

Ⅰ

Originals

Paintings from the studio, sold directly by the two brothers who painted them. No gallery in between.

Ⅱ

The matchbox paintings

Old Indian matchbox labels — gods, heroines, a country's name — painted large over drawings of the temples and cities they came from.

Ⅲ

Commissions & portraits

Painted for your wall and your palette, or from a photograph — shown in your room before it is painted.

Ⅳ

Murals

Painted on site, on the wall itself — a living room, a lobby, a mandir room.

The studio

Two brothers, one studio in Kandivali West. Tarun and Tushar Joshi paint side by side — and from this Diwali, they sell what they paint straight from here.

Devotional subjects, studies of temple sculpture, paintings where the subject climbs out of its own frame, and a series built from matchbox labels.
