Divyam Raghunath is a London based multidisciplinary artist working across painting, installation, digital media, and moving image. His work explores perception, spatial transformation, and the emotional impact of urban environments, shaped by lived experiences across cities including Patna, Sydney, Singapore, and London.
In recent years, his practice has focused on the politics of visibility and access within rapidly urbanising spaces. Projects such as Sky Colony investigate how architecture mediates perception and belonging, particularly in cities shaped by private development and vertical expansion. Alongside installation and media work, his paintings offer a quieter engagement with memory and place, translating personal experiences into abstract forms and layered surfaces.
Raghunath has exhibited internationally at venues including Hypha Studios HQ, the Royal College of Art and Hockney Gallery in London, The Stainless Gallery in New Delhi, HEARTH Gallery in Singapore, and Alliance Française de Singapour. Upcoming exhibitions include Apocalypse, and After? (Hockney Gallery, London), In Other Words (Corner Gallery, London), and At 5 a.m., I woke up (Euston, London).
He holds an MA in Contemporary Art Practice from the Royal College of Art (2025) and a BA (Hons) in Fine Art from LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore (2021), alongside a Graphic Design certificate from CalArts. Alongside his art practice, he has worked professionally as an Art Director with agencies including HAVAS and Leo Burnett, contributing to campaigns for international brands.
Divyam Raghunath is a multidisciplinary artist based in London, working across painting, installation, photography and moving image. His practice explores how urban environments subtly shape emotional life, with a focus on how built space influences movement, perception and belonging. Having grown up in a small town in India and later lived in Singapore and London, his work often navigates tensions between warmth and detachment, vibrancy and sterility. These shifts across geographies, cultures and emotional landscapes form a central foundation of his practice.
The sky plays a recurring role in his visual language. He approaches it as a shared, open plane that, within contemporary cities, becomes fragmented by architecture, filtered through glass and constrained by vertical ambition. His work frequently reorients perspective, inviting viewers to look up, down or through, and to experience space as unstable and mediated. Raghunath considers architecture not only as physical structure but as emotional infrastructure carrying memory, aspiration and erasure.
Influenced by psychogeography and hyperreality, he focuses on intimate and fragmented moments rather than monumentality. Through distortion, softness and spatial ambiguity, his work seeks to reclaim emotional presence within the built environment, where identity shifts, visibility changes and even the sky must be rediscovered.
