Spring promises an exciting time for connoisseurs of Indian art as
'Artvoyage' launches with a voyage of discovery that inspires the
soul and reveals the essence of the human spirit. Artvoyage's first
exhibition 'Scenes From A Voyage', a six-day show of works by some
of the top artists of India, runs from 19 to -24 April at the Nehru
Centre in London. Sir GK Noon MBE, Chairman, Noon Products Ltd will
inaugurate the show.
There
is a growing interest in Indian art and museums have now begun to
display Indian contemporary art rather than Indian antiques. The
show represents about twenty artists, each having their own variations
in development and style, allowing viewers to get an overview of
their different styles and techniques. 'The show gives people an
opportunity to have physical interaction with a piece of work, several
hundred miles away from its origin' says Gayatri Singh, Co-founder
and Director. Nearly
all fifty of the works to be exhibited at the show have not been
seen prior to this exhibition.
'Our
key objective is to do shows for people to get a good look at what
is being created in India today' says Parminder Vir, OBE who is
one of the co-founders of Artvoyage. 'We want to develop the commercial
market for Indian art in London. Further, we want to get South Asian
artists and UK Asian artists more exposure to the global arts market.'
The
show brings works by artists in Calcutta, Bangalore, Patna, Hyderabad,
Delhi and Mumbai. Artists include Aditya Basak, Chandra Bhattacharjee,
Bratin Khan, Phalguni Dasgupta, Pasenjit Sengupta, Dewashish Das,
Sanatan Dinda, Shipra Bhattacharya, Subrata Gangopadhyay, Suman
Roy, Suman Roy, Tapas Ghosal, Dharmendra Rathore, Swapan Palley,
John Fernandes, Sidharth, Laxma Goud, Subrata Kundu and Subrata
Saha.
