Yogesh Barve Returns to Mumbai with Solo Exhibition 'Tayen Tayen Fish'

Yogesh Barve is making a much-anticipated return to the Mumbai art circuit with a new solo project titled Tayen Tayen Fish, opening at Bandra’s Art & Charlie gallery. The exhibition kicks off with a preview night on September 26, 2026, promising a sharp, observant dive into the anti-climactic nature of modern existence.

The Absurdity of the Everyday

Moving away from grandiose statements, Barve’s latest work is anchored in the mundane and the anti-heroic. The exhibition text sets the tone perfectly, describing a space where there is "...No martyrdom, no spectacular defeat. Just the bizarre, domestic reality of a balloon zipping around the room before landing flat on the floor..."

This sentiment is visually reinforced in the exhibition's digital invite, which takes the clever form of layered, retro computer error windows. The graphic poses a poignant question to its audience: "What happens to everything we witness, absorb and quietly learn to ignore?". Ultimately, Barve invites attendees to "come see the tragic, absurd fizzle of grand ambitions meeting cold realities".
