Backyard

On our walls this month: works by .j ✍️

She is a lawyer by Profession, a traveller/trekker by Passion, a writer by enthusiasm, and above all, someone who loves to bring a change in People’s lives.

📍At Backyard, we’ve always believed walls should do more than decorate a room. They should hold conversations. Memories. Questions. Stories people were once told to shrink.

These poems sit across our space like fragments of lived experience: Subtle first. Sharp later.

As you walk through Backyard this week, pause for the details. Read the words closely. Sit with the feelings they leave behind. 🎞️🖋️

Because sometimes art does not ask to be understood immediately.
Sometimes it simply asks to be witnessed

On our walls this month: works by .taken.aback 🖤

Featuring an artist from Hyderabad whose work quietly lingers with you long after you’ve looked away. Through oil, acrylic, pen, and pencil, she captures faces, gestures, emotions, and fragments of people as they are: raw, layered, human.

At Backyard, we’ve always believed art should feel lived in, not distant. Something you accidentally pause for while walking to coffee. Something that starts conversations between strangers. Something that inspires ideas before words even arrive.

So this month, our walls are filled with expressions, memories, tension, softness, music, loneliness, humour, rebellion, and the strange beauty of being human 🎞️🖋️

Come walk through the space.
Work with art in the background.
Sit beside a piece that makes you feel something. Meet people. View the work of artists. Exchange stories. Be inspired, and maybe inspire someone back.

Because sometimes the best connections begin quietly,
between a person and a wall they couldn’t stop looking at ✨

On our walls this month: works by .art 🖼️🖌️

A self-taught abstract artist based in Chennai. Her painting process involves the application of layered colours, marks, and textures. Through the layers of process, the paintings slowly emerge, and she sees herself not as their creator but as a witness to their unfolding.

📍At Backyard, we’ve always believed walls should do more than decorate a room. They should hold conversations. Memories. Questions. Stories people were once told to shrink.

These paintings sat across our space like fragments of lived experience.
