Inspired by contemporary art in India

Date December 1, 2007

In an ongoing quest to connect with our large audience from India, I looked up art galleries in Mumbai. One of the first links to come up steered me in an inspiring direction: Chemould Prescott Road, Contemporary Art Gallery. This gallery was opened in February, 2007, as “a branch of Gallery Chemould, one of India’s oldest (est 1963) leading contemporary art galleries.” It’s a spot I will visit should I ever have the opportunity. Here is a sampling of the art I I would love to see in real life:

N,S. Harsha, “White Shadow,” Cloth fixed to ground, 45×70 meters

I’d love to know of more inspiring art, design, or cool spots in India. Please send me your thoughts.

Stumble it!

    A counsellor on high-range jewellery, Olaf Van Cleef is also a painter by night, because he can’t sleep!

    Thanks for making Olaf Van Cleef’s work known to us. We thought his work deserved an entirely new post! Thanks again for the info
