Method's third edition of Fresh Produce opens in Delhi from August 21 to October 3, featuring 16 artists selected from more than 400 applications. Known as the gallery's flagship open-call exhibition, Fresh Produce highlights emerging practices across disciplines, offering a platform for artists working in painting, material studies, architecture, and experimental forms.
Method will open the third edition of "Fresh Produce" at its Delhi gallery from 21 August to 3rd October, bringing together sixteen artists selected from a pool of more than 400 submitted portfolios. It's a smaller cohort than the exhibition's earlier editions — 2025's Delhi debut alone brought in over 30 artists from 750+ applicants — but the tighter number leans towards depth over sheer volume, letting each practice have the room to breathe and thrive, rather than compete for wall space in a crowded group show.
The selection spans artists working across India, joined this year by Angel-Rose Oedit Doebé, based in the Netherlands — a small but notable widening of the exhibition's geography beyond its usual national frame. Tulika Parijat's paintings feel like a play on light sifting in through a window, Prithwin Dutta's work is nostalgic of the comic books we all read growing up with vivid exaggerated human faces and Varun Mehta's artistry sits at the curious intersection of architecture, sustainable design and material studies. This edition of Fresh Produce champions artists across disciplines and art forms. Method has been explicit that "Fresh Produce" resists that kind of curatorial tidiness by design, choosing instead to let plurality do the work — different disciplines, different approaches, different stages of formation, sitting alongside each other without being forced into a single narrative.
The gallery, founded in 2019 by Sahil Arora, built its reputation on making contemporary art more accessible and giving young, boundary-pushing artists a real platform. "Fresh Produce" has functioned as something like Method's signature gesture toward that mission as an open call, judged by a serious jury, that turns into a snapshot of where Indian contemporary art is headed in the future.
For Method's Delhi space in Defence Colony, now well past its 2025 launch and settled into a reputation for platforming the experimental and the niche, the third "Fresh Produce" is a recurring check-in with the artists most likely to define what comes next. Coming off more than 400 applications this cycle, it's also a reminder of just how much unseen practice is out there, waiting for a room willing to look closely and early.
