Report by Santanu Ganguly, New Delhi: Sanchit Art, an art gallery with a difference, is proud to announce that it witnessed a record sale at its recent show held at The Arts House in Singapore from April 17–21, 2013.
Talking about the response of art lovers in Singapore, Sunil Joshan, promoter of Sanchit Art says, “We received tremendous response from the art lovers and buyers in Singapore. On the opening day itself, more than 500 people visited the show, and we sold approximately 80% of the works. Even once the exhibition had ended we got several calls from people in Singapore to hold certain works for them!”
A well-known name in art circles, Sanchit Art organized ‘Kala Sutra: Continuity and Fluxus’, which displayed the best of Indian contemporary art by a number of renowned artists. The event aimed at fostering Indian art in the fastest growing South Asian markets, outside India.
Kala Sutra was a great experience for Singapore art lovers as here they not only got an opportunity to see, buy and appreciate a wide range of Indian contemporary art but also the show gave them an invaluable chance to interact face-to-face with the creators of these artworks. There were various interactive talks and discussions organized with different cultural organizations in Singapore and the event was much loved by everyone. Jayasri Burman, JogenChowdhury, Neeraj Goswami, Paresh Maity, Thota Vaikuntam and curator Arun Ghose were present in Singapore to partake in the various activities.
The highlight of the preview was a giant hot air balloon, painted live, by Paresh Maity to celebrate the occasion. It drew a lot of attention from the audience and everyone made sure to get a photograph with it. Gracing the occasion for the launch of the preview was H.E. Dr. T.C.A. Raghavan, the Indian High Commissioner to Singapore, who himself is a keen art lover and appreciated the presence of the artists in Singapore.
Conceptualized by leading Kolkata based curator Arun Ghose, the show displayed iconic works of acclaimed artists such as Late Ganesh Pyne, Jayasri Burman, Jogen Chowdhury,K. Laxma Goud, Lalu Prasad Shaw, Neeraj Goswami, Paresh Maity, Satish Gujral and Thota Vaikuntam– artists known for their exploration and celebration of the old art practices of India which influence their work.
Featuring a diverse range of styles and artistic explorations, the exhibition featured 72 artworks in Singapore.
Sanchit Art, at present, is operating with a major gallery space in the city of Agra. Its second gallery will open soon in New Delhi along with all modern facilities for display and appreciation of conventional as well as new age mediums.
