East Harlem’s vibrant art scene welcomes a new voice with the opening of Melted Light: Studies in Pigment and Wax, a solo exhibition of recent encaustic paintings by Harlem-based artist Reuben Sinha.

This exhibition marks the second show at OneTaste Gallery, located at 2277 3rd Ave.

Born in India and raised in Harlem from the age of eight, Sinha brings a deeply personal lens to his work.

His encaustic paintings are rich with texture, pigment, and light – each piece a layered exploration of memory, identity, and cultural transition.

Working exclusively in the encaustic medium, Sinha works with wax to create layers that reflect his own richly layered experience of his life, culture, current events, and the human experience.

“My work is about the internal effects of memory, identity and race politics. Traversing those boundaries, cultures gained and cultures lost, and sensations across time and space are continual themes in my work.”

— Reuben Sinha

Sinha draws inspiration from the emotional terrain of those he meets, the stories they carry, and the shifting tides of contemporary culture.

Visitors to the exhibition may find themselves reflected in the colors, layers, and light-play of his work.

The OneTaste Gallery is East Harlem’s newest destination for creative expression. More than just a gallery, it’s a living space – a modern sanctuary where art, culture, and community come alive. Whether you’re visiting for an art opening, a conversation, a meditation, or simply to breathe in the beauty, the OneTaste gallery invites you into a world vibrant with creativity, beauty and purposeful living.
