New Release:Recent Painting of Artist Pratul Dash
Pratul Dash has been witness to the burgeoning growth in the cityscape encroaching on vast open spaces. Wrenched away from the simple way of living in his native village in Orissa where he enjoyed the flora and fauna found in plenty over huge tracts of the landscape, it was a huge change to be confined in the metropolis like capital city New Delhi. In his recent work "The Red",Artist Pratul Dash shows the inner contrast feelings towards a rhythmatic cosmic sequence.Moving side by side or up and down "The Red" feeling captures all the innocence.At our last meet he has indicated about some serious work series,i am very exited,"Artists are always serious".
Sculpture review:Gadadhar OJHA
One of the most talented young sculptor working today,Mr. Gadadhar OJHA is renowned for his abstract sculptural forms that permeate physical and psychological space. The range and energy of his sculptural work over the past decade has inspired many institutions in France and India. These have been realised with the same degree of inventiveness and versatility that have made Mr. Gadadhar OJHA one of the most prominent artists of our time.
Exploration of the sublime is central to Mr. Gadadhar OJHA's work. With simple strong forms he explores ways in which viewers can more directly experience sensations such as emptiness and intimacy. Mr. Gadadhar OJHA's sculptures often exploit the mystical and emotional qualities of colour on wood and texture on stone By inviting to create sculpture for our next proposed show,one of our mainline artist Mr. Gadadhar OJHA,the only young Indian artist/sculptor living in Paris,France has updated me about his last year projects and all other completed works. Undoubtly sculptors have an important role to offer a sense of wonder and the miraculous to a world that lacks it.Artist Mr. Gadadhar OJHA has said about his wonderful experience of working with all other international artists at paris.I have amazed when he showed me the lil video footage and photographs of his last work.Ahh..It is a huge Sculpture,the texcture,patterns and the overall contemporary forms are just superb. Although the decline of the 'romantic' notion of the artist and speculating about a new conception of the relationship between artist and society,but his works are contemporary figurative sculptures created in the expressionist tradition.Somebody argues that art is man's defnese agains insensitivity. Hehe,it's clearly a comment on the lack of wonder and beauty in much contemporary art. The work never explicitly references walking, yet it invokes the physicality and psychology of this common activity. Small, sequential movements, each like the one before, create an impressive cumulative effect. Just as thousands of steps constitute a long hike.

What's happening on Art World.
India's first art summit "INDIA ART SUMMIT 2008" scheduled for August 22nd 23rd 24th this year in the capital will not only offer a platform to showcase the Indian art but also will facilitate discussions by all stake-holders. "We are very late in coming to this stage. Nevertheless, it's good that it has finally happened. Like the rest of the world, artists here will now have a platform to discuss various subjects related to art," renowned artist Anjolie Ela Menon told IANS on the sidelines of a press meet here Thursday."Until five years back, nothing much was happening in the Indian art scenario because the government was simply not doing enough to promote Indian art in the way it should be."But now that private companies are coming forward and taking interest in it, things seem to be improving," said Menon.Well-known artist S.H. Raza agreed with her. "An initiative like this will go a long way in the cultural development of India. I am glad that private organizations are now taking the initiatives to facilitate such collaborations within the arts," he said.The biggest collection of art in the country will be showcased at the summit. Ashok Art Gallery is going to showcase some very talented emerging young Indian Artists like Pratul Dash Binoy Varghese and Dharmendra Rathore. Experts including artists, officials from the corporate world, investors, art galleries, art insurers and anyone interested in the subject can take part in an open forum.The summit will be held over a period of two days.It will offer an ideal opportunity for networking among the art fraternity and investors. "Some of the topics of discussion will be 'The present scenario of art in India', 'Fluctuations in the art market and investment trends' and 'Evaluation of authenticity of an art piece', which will help everyone," said Sunil Gautam, group managing director of Hanmer MS&L, which is organizing the summit.With a growth rate of 30-35 percent annually, the Indian art scenario is looking bright. The Indian art market is the fourth buoyant art market in the world and is worth Rs.15 billion.
The summit, which is likely to be attended by an estimated 6,000 visitors and 40 exhibitors, has received support from veteran artists such as Menon, Raza and Krishen Khanna, art critics like Keshav Malik, art collector Sangita Jindal and gallery owner Yash Birla.

Women painter who is drawing a lot of attention
Kanchan Verma
Is it true that another Amrita Shergill has introduced at Indian art? Another woman artist this time is Kanchan Verma. Immensely talented, she has created a huge volume of art works and She is creating more wonderful art works regularly now. Her works show colorful women drawn in realist and impressionist styles sometimes. Kanchan Verma is a young Indian women artist from Kashmir valley.She is living surrounded by every beautiness of nature and it reflects thoroughly at her works.Kanchan Verma's work are deep symbols of women and a rich sea of colours that show a way to reach into the unconscious mind that is very vital. The symbols are highly concentrated and therefore are not to be interpretated in a near sense but give way to sophisticated interpretation. Her works enforces you to read your society and your background through her works with the baggage of those expectations and experience. We all know that political and cultural distinctions provide attraction, but there is the high danger that people just engage with a cultural mask in the end. I believe the banality of play between reaction and art can be more genuine. Work as form and its interrelation with people as consciousness is what counts.All the six works are showing at Ashok Art Gallery interpretes the artists soul as an e.g. naturalistic picture or naturalistic dream, because there swing with so much connotations that are taken into account now and find a way out of the soul. Generations have peered at Kanchan Verma's Artistic jurney.vew and wondered about its dark secrets. But now, after its creation, She believes she has the answers to its riddles. In contemporary India, there are many women painters who are drawing a lot of attention. And Kanchan Verma is one of them for sure.

Compassion in contemporary art
Young Jayadev Biswal contemporary Indian artist
"Contemporary art" is another one of those terms that covers a wide variety of art. The best definition of "contemporary" is the work of any living artist, though the term has also been used to mean art that you would go beyond. This sense of contemporary is more like the term "modern," in that it means the opposite of "traditional.". Here another rare talent Jayadev Biswal is showing his exceptional art skill with those very special canvases. Jayadev's lush, exotic and luminous textures sprawl somewhere between the sonic freefall of bloody Valentine, folktronica, famous dutch landscapes and a hymnal, Spiritualized-ish quality, but always with an eye on beyond and subtlety. Despite his preference for tweed and brogues, The Young Jayadev is just another exponent of brittle Indian new-wave upcoming contemporary artist with attitude. There are a million ways to combine concept, style and technique, but the Young Jayadev seems to interested in discovering any uniqness from them, to play with them and if you visit his workplace ,you just cann't deny all these arguments, he is surely one of upcoming mainline young painter in Indian contemporary art market now, just looking like using all his Borodian skill to amaze art lovers and art critics.This most recent work 'COMPASSION' indicates his new development of supra-national power structures and the radical social changes.While global cities are forming into a new economic world order, capital, people, ideas, pictures, and goods move around the world with ever-increasing speed, setting up a network of communication, production, and consumption that spans all continents,Young Jayadev Biswal is looking to add some more features towards its rapidical progress.He is coming with some new contemporary concepts with amazing handelling and flowless coloring techniques on canvases.

Contemporary Art Reviews : Mardi A Ahmed
International Artists Roundup
Mardi (Mahruch) Ali Ahmed is a Canadian Artist and Poet, born in Pakistan with a German mother and East Indian father. She grew up in an Italian neighborhood and is presently living with her family on her little farm tucked in the Rainforests of British Columbia on First Nations (Native Indian) Land. With the Rocky Mountains at her back and the Pacific Ocean at her toes Mardi spends part of each day roaming the forest trails with her dogs. Nature , and the patterns hidden within are her inspiration. Her talent lies in her fluid translation of thought into physical form. Self-taught, Mardi only began painting seriously in 2003. She has developed at an accelerated pace, no doubt aided by her genius aptitude for spatial mathematics.Mardi's large, bold works showing at Ashok Art Gallery engage themes of the balance of masculine and feminine energies - the organic and the structural - the fluid and the static. Waves, spirals and helixes resonate with her love of physics and quantum theory. Mardi is also the author of a proposal for a World School of Peace, inspired by her work as a foster parent for 40 youth, the proposal is endorsed by H.H. the Dalai Lama and Dr. Robert Muller, founder of the United Nations University of Peace. Mardi hopes that one day, her art will aid philanthropic work globally.

Art of investing in ART
I love art but am looking at returns and not possession - to make money
What are the points to be noted???
Art will give you ample returns in 2 ways, one is to deal with the known masters and the other is when you back the growing young artists.
If you love art and have done your research, you will make a lot of money. Honesty and credibility are very important because nothing as of now is defined in this business.
May be the thrill is operating in such a chaotic field.
Buy what excites you, Art work which you like instantly as soon as you see it.
What is your opinion on this?
Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

I am completely agree with you dear!
