Crumbled stories (2026) Original Mixed-media Painting by Sumit Mehndiratta

Upcycled paper, acrylic paint and spray paint on canvas. This triptych explores the tension between chaos and order. Three crumpled forms emerge against a deep, muted background. The golden hues suggest a metallic sheen, elevating a mundane material into a sculptural study. Each panel captures a distinct moment of collapse. Sharp folds create a complex play of light and shadow. The composition feels impulsive yet meticulously balanced. It reflects a desire to find beauty in the accidental. The artist utilizes an experimental approach to transform the tactile nature of paper into a visual rhythm. These shapes evoke memories of discarded drafts or ancient parchment. There is a profound stillness in the frozen movement of the creases. The repetition across the three frames establishes a cinematic sequence. It invites the viewer to contemplate the fragility of form. The artwork merges the boundaries between two-dimensional representation and three-dimensional depth.
