 An interesting collection of works by some of India’s most senior and emerging artists is on exhibition at Berkeley Square Gallery until 24th of June. Titled ‘The Art Mill at Berkeley Square Gallery’, the show stands testimony to the commitment of two galleries – The Art Mill, Mumbai and Berkeley Square Gallery, London to the promotion of contemporary Indian art at a global level. Meena Hingorani’s Art Mill is Mumbai’s newest gallery, located within a 160 year old textile manufacturing facility, in the heart of Mumbai city. With two exhibitions spaces measuring over 6,000 square feet each, The Art Mill is a perfect venue for new media works and the display of installation artworks, sculptures and large format works. Berkeley Square Gallery was founded in 1988, and has since been directed by Peter Osborne. Centrally located in the heart of London’s Mayfair district, it started a programme of major Indian events in 2005. The gallery seeks to bring modern and contemporary Indian art to a wider international audience. The exhibition showcases recent works by artists such as Jogen Chowdhury, Akbar Padamsee, Jeram Patel, Amitava Das, Prabhakar Kolte, Sudhir Patwardhan, Dhruva Mistry, Mrinalini Mukherjee, Rm. Palaniappan, Manish Pushkale, Vanita Gupta and John Tun Sein. In addition, an elegant sculpture by the Pakistani artist Amin Gulgee will be on display. Some of the highlights of the show include two drawings by Jogen Chowdhury, intriguing canvases by Amitava Das, a recent untitled acrylic work by Prabhakar Kolte, beautifully crafted sculptures by Dhruva Mistry, Mrinalini Mukherjee and Amin Gulgee, and a series of stunning abstract works by the young Vanita Gupta and John Tun Sein. |
