Also this exhibition will offer viewers an opportunity to understand the power of Indian contemporary art” said – Malavika Gaur, of VeVa Art.

Variety of visual delights are kept keeping in mind the distinct taste of every art enthusiast. The affordable art on display are believed to be an ideal investment and can turn your personal space in to your favorite place.
Another attraction of the show will be the serigraphs. Serigraphy is a process through which printed design are produced by means of silk screen. The original prints are produced and hand printed by the artists.
The participating artists though share the same level of compassion towards art but their approach, thoughts and perception towards life vary a lot. One of the eminent participating artist Wasim Kapoor, is an artist possessed by the dark emotions of pain, suppression, suffering and loneliness. All his subjects, whether simple Indian women involved in daily tasks, Jesus Christ or even the ubiquitous Kolkata rickshaws, reflect angst and torment at the hands of a cruel society. Kapoor says that the poignant and melancholic images he paints are simply expressions of what he feels and sees every day. For him the dark images narrate the truth of our society. In contrast to that artist Aditya Basak have always played with his imagination power and gives a joy ride to a fantasy world. He has a fascination towards fantasies which can be seen in his art that let viewers escape from the real world. He strives to give form to the harsh realities of life and the strange thoughts that lurk in the corners of the subconscious, and both give his paintings a disturbing but hauntingly beautiful quality.
Renowned artist Jayashree Chakravarty on the other hand uses superimposed forms, quite like the sketches that cave painters worked on before they mapped them on the walls of caves. Her imagery, because of her fluid and transparent images, reflect the present mood of the world, which is fluid in itself. Her varied academic background has shaped her unique aesthetic style that often conceals as much as it reveals. Her work reflects the unity of man with nature and boldly experiments with an exciting variety of media like rice paper, tissue and cellophane to out in her thoughts. Artist Manish Pushkale works on oil canvas with minimum intervention of brush to give the canvas a thin color bath. His entire work process is worked out by the use of a piece of fabric acting as sponge to absorb extra pigment and give a smooth texture. A subdued color palette gives a calm character to his works. However, on a closer examination, the motifs and symbols in his art come to light, giving it different meanings. Subtle brush strokes and shading create multi-layered meaning which let the onlooker to apprehend it in any direction they wish to.
Other participating artists include Somenath Maity, Laxman Aely, Shekhar Roy, Shipra Bhattacharya, Shuchi Khanna, Suhas Roy, Shuvaprasanna & many more.
