Viraj Khanna is a visual artist from India who works with textile and embroidery. The first artist to be included in the Forbes ’30 Under 30′ lists in both India and Asia, his practice draws on themes of documentation and performativity in social media. Khanna’s narrative-driven works examine the imagery of perfection and people’s desires to portray their most eye-catching and meaningful moments on social media. He employs three-dimensional threadwork to stylize these images into dreamlike compositions.

Khanna studied Business Administration at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles (2018) and graduated with a Master of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (2025). His solo exhibitions include: Rajiv Menon Contemporary, Los Angeles (2025), Gallery Art Exposure, Kolkata (2021), Tao Art Gallery, Mumbai (2022 and 2025), Gallery Art Exposure, Bikaner House, India Art Fair, New Delhi (2022), Tao Art Gallery, India Art Fair, New Delhi (2023) and Kalakriti Art Gallery, India Art Fair, New Delhi (2025). He has also participated in group exhibitions in India and internationally: Space 118,Mumbai (2022), Snowball Studios, Mumbai (2023), National Gallery of Modern Art, Mumbai (2024), Rajiv Menon Contemporary, Los Angeles (2024), Harper’s East Hampton (2024), LATITUDE 28, New Delhi (2025), Art Dubai, LATITUDE 28, Dubai (2025) and Kravets Wehby Gallery, New York (2026).
