EIGHT NEONS BY MUKESH SHAH
14 NOVEMBER 2026 – 10 DECEMBER 2026
“I love words and neon – they are like pizza and coke!”
In Mukesh Shah’s upcoming exhibition at XVA Gallery, the retinal fire of neon makes us see the words, despite our doomscrolled attention spans. EIGHT NEONS is a homage to the mark-making power of words and the artisanship of neon signs.
The exhibition features works from UTOPAI (2021–2026) and PLAYLIST (2017–2020), two word-art series through which Shah explores the zeitgeist.
About the Artist
Mukesh Shah’s artistic practice combines conceptual precision with sharp socio-political commentary to investigate our times. Through his reductive and incisive visual language, Shah transforms philosophical and economic critique into luminous symbols, bridging text and light to provoke reflection on value, hierarchy and human agency in a digital age. His works engage both mind and emotion – he distils complex ideas into powerful visual metaphors.
Join us from 14 November – 10 December 2026.
