Khvat and Mouse Peak
Dmitry Sandjiev
Mice and larger creatures inhabit an intricate imagined world of wires, machinery and portholes. Sandjiev's signed print rewards close looking with its layered details and playful narrative.

The eye — not the name.
A mark of intent, not of signature.
A mark of intent, not of signature.
Philosophy — I
The world is home to an extraordinary diversity of art. At West23, we are drawn to that diversity, from celebrated artists to lesser-known talents, across styles, mediums and techniques.
What interests us is work with character: distinctive, compelling and worth a closer look.
Through thoughtful curation, we bring these discoveries closer to collectors in India. Art crosses borders. Its value lies in the connections it creates and the place it finds in people’s lives.
— Approach
A work has to earn its wall, its shelf or its mantel, every single day.
— Position
We do not chase signatures. The work arrives first. The name, if it matters, follows.
Method — II, III, IV
II — Philosophy
An intuition
for presence.
Presence is scale, colour and craft, and how a work behaves in daylight and at dusk.
III — Provenance
Honest histories.
We share what is known about each work's history, and say plainly where it is not known.
IV — Acquisition
Time to
look.
Visits are by appointment in Chennai, so there is time to look and to talk. No rush, no sales script.
