Shailee Mehta

Indian painter (b. 1998, Indore; Slade BFA 2020) whose large, glowing oils of nude women in watery landscapes speak for a female gaze. After her first solo in India, 'Chants from the Hollow' at Chemould CoLab, she showed 'Into the Low Tide' at indigo+madder in London (March-April 2026). Open magazine named her a 2026 Youth Icon, and she is heading to Oxford for an MFA.
