Viraj Khanna challenges traditional processes by pushing the limits of textile art. While embroidery is a legacy for him, he transforms traditional techniques of ari and zardosi through experimental approaches and bold, abstract figures. He translates collages and acrylic painting onto fabric, guiding traditional artisans with new methods and materials. His vivid use of colour, texture, and form deconstructs and reconstructs ideas of truth, selfhood, and image. The result is embroidery elevated to the realm of contemporary art, asserting its place on a global stage.
Through this intervention, Viraj Khanna positions himself as a hybrid force between fashion and art, and a contemporary voice reshaping the language of textile and identity.
