Profile Information
- About Me
- I holds a masters degree in Ancient Indian Culture and writing on contemporary art through various publications since last twelve years. Currently I am writing weekly reviews on exhibitions for Mumbai based English weekly on art and culture "Every Tuesday' since last one year. I have had many one-to-one interviews with Mumbai based artists for All India Radio and Every Tuesday and other Literary Magazines. I have written catalogue essays for many artists in Mumbai. I have written weekly review for publications like Mumbai Sakal(for two year), Tarun Bharat(for three years), Lok-Prabha(for one year), Metro-Pulse(for one year) and contributed in-depth articles for various magazines like BAS Art Journal, Kalabhavan's Nandan, Literary Magazine 'Khel', 'Manus'. I have curated group show for Kalavishkar in Artists' Centre, Mumbai(2006) and Art Entrance Gallery(2007), Mumbai. I am on the committee of Artists' Centre and Jt.Secretary of The Bombay Art Society and Editor of Bombay Art Society's Art Journal.
I have maintained writing on art as a pure hobby, as I earn my bread and butter somewhere else and not in the art field. Some one has argued that 'writing art criticism is a lousy way to make the living and I believe there is a substance in the argument.

Korean art buyers contacted all our artists who participated in our Jakarta exhibition through our catalogues and bought more than 70 paintings directly from artists. Catalogues will be printed only if there are enough paid entries to cover the cost of catalogues. Korean art buyers contacted our artists after getting all contact details from our catalogues. Many art buyers from Indonesia and Singapore have contacted our artists to buy their artworks directly from them.
Selected Artists contributing and participating in the exhibition will be put into catalogues free of charge.
Catalogues is the best option for sculptors / ceramic artists / Installations artists as it is expensive to take these heavy objects abroad
Highlights of the exhibitions abroad

We have sold more than 100 paintings so far in our exhibitions and in 2008 we have sold 16 paintings and full amount has been paid to all artists. After the exhibition is over in Jakarta ,many artists have requested us to keep their paintings in Jakarta which will be sold through art dealers/art galleries/auction houses in Jakarta who take 35% commission on sales.
2) All art buyers are encouraged to directly contact you from exhibition hall itself
3)If paintings are sold,100% amount goes to respective artists without any deductions-No commission to anyone including us.
4)Full support of Indian Embassy and Indian cultural centre in Jakarta who every year arrange a grand opening ceremony and call all important VIPs and Indonesian and Indian business leaders. This year a grand dance program and a lavish dinner party was arranged for us by Indian Embassy and JNICC. We are deeply thankful to JNICC and Indian Embassy who encourage us every year.

Many Indian artists have applied for Switzerland residency program and Asian paintings award by Sovereign foundation in Hongkong.Wishing our artist all the best.
7)This is a Not-for-profit activity and selling paintings is not our goal even though we try hard for it. Connecting artists with art buyers and art galleries abroad is our MAIN GOAL.
