What’s Under My Skin? On Show @AIFACS Delhi

Twenty-year-old Khushi Khandelwal examines how layering is quietly rolling beneath the surface – anxiety, fragility, and psychological exposure.

NEW DELHI, July 21 (The CONNECT) – The AIFACS Gallery in New Delhi is undergoinganexciting debut with the solo exhibition of emerging artist twenty-year-old Khushi Khandelwal with her exhibition “What’s Under My Skin?” that took off on  July 18 at Gallery A, All India Fine Arts & Crafts Society.

What’s Under My Skin? is not simply an exhibition; it is a window into the artist’s internal challenge – a challenge that is influenced, at times, by the insidious subtext of emotion that often characterizes our lives.

With her collection, Khushi examines how layering is quietly rolling beneath the surface of what most people live with, but hardly articulate: anxiety, fragility, and psychological exposure. Those who walk the gallery will find themselves before paintings that define a type of language within tools of realism and abstraction, as well as narratives that endure even after one has left that space.

The exhibition, which will be on till  July 24,  has been vibrant with activity attracting diverse groups, from art fans, artists, students, collectors, and critics all wandering day by day into the galleries of the exhibition space.

In fact, many attendees have been observed spending long amounts of time in front of single canvases considering the layers, textures, and each individual symbol of meaning in the works. If anyone is tempted to take a piece of this narrative, original works and curated prints are up for sale, making the purchase of Khushi’s art accessible to those who would like to begin (or add to) their collection of art work.

“I’m just so blown away by the crowd and all these genuine reactions,” said Khushi, standing amidst visitors discussing her work. “Seeing so many people connect with what I made, and even hearing those people share their own stories with me, has been so touching. I never imagined experiencing so much kindness and engagement, and that is something I’ll cherish forever.”

In What’s Under My Skin?, Khushi puts herself out there by sharing a deeply personal conversation with the greater community, giving us pause, prompting reflection, and asking us to connect with what is under our own skin. The continued presence of attendees and conversations at What’s Under My Skin? indicate not only the success of the exhibition, but the initiation of an exciting chapter in Khushi Khandelwal’s artistic journey.
Khushi is in the process of completing the BA (Hons) in Fine Arts at LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore. Her artistic practice embraces themes of memory, materiality, and personal history by employing mixed-media and installation. She has been a participant in ‘Everything in Between’ (2024) and `Crumbs’ (2025) in Singapore.

She won the “Suresh Khanna Trophy for Excellence in Art” at Welham Girls’ School in 2023, which recognized her direction and commitment to the creative act of art-making and claims a space for excellence in the arts.
