Inspired by the symbolism of ancient tantric artwork, artist Suchi Reddy creates an immersive installation for Asian Paints.

Architect and designer Suchi Reddy has created an immersive art installation called Chromacosm, in collaboration with Asian Paints. The installation features over 5,300 color swatches, meticulously arranged by hue and depth, showcasing the full spectrum of colors from light to deep tones. The installation is designed to be an experiential journey, allowing viewers to walk through a “forest of vertical reeds” and experience over 2,000 shades of color. Reddy’s inspiration came from ancient tantric paintings, which she used to represent the order and randomness of the universe. The installation is a companion to Asian Paints’ milestone-marking color system, Chromacosm, which is designed to revolutionize the way architects and designers approach color selection. The installation will be on display at the Architecture and Design Film Festival in Mumbai and the India Art Fair in Delhi in 2025.
