Condolence to Hussain Sahab.

When I heard the news of Hussain Sahab.. I felt very bad. India has lost a great artist. I admire his ability to paint, even when he was surrounded by so many controversies.


I was just recollecting my old times which I had spent with him. He was a regular visitor the any exhibition and always encouraged the young artists. I remember during one of my exhibition in at Jahangir Art Gallery, Mumbai he had visited my exhibition and spent quite a lot of time looking at my horse paintings. 


I am attaching one of old memories with him here...

ArtScape- India Art Gallery

ArtScapes, show of India Art Gallery has begin - on till 15 Jan 09.

These guys are really doing some amazing work to promote Indian Artists. The 'thing' I like is that they provide such a eclectica of works that their exhibition are really a feast for the eyes. They have a mix of figurative as well as abstract art. Sculptures as well. I guess their gallery space should be one of the largest in Maharastra replete with fabulous lighting arrangement. Recently they did an exhibition of works by Shantiniketan artists.

One of my Horse trio is on display in Pune at IndiaArt Gallery.

A work I earlier blogged about here and here has appeared on the brochure as well. Unfortunately, due to some issues it was not framed.



There is no substitute to visiting the gallery in person at
