Art Mart, platform for different artists, kicks of in Gurgaon
The Art Mart was buzzing with activity as the first day of the exhibition was about to start. Among various excellent pieces of work one also noticed the growing interest in the Indian scenario for fine arts. Merinews reports.

IF ONE compares the growth of Indian art with yesteryear, a huge development is noticed with people actually understanding, loving and absorbing art in their life. It is no more a segregated genre as even middle class and upper middle class people are getting to know art and its importance. This was clearly seen when in the very first hour of the first day of Art Mart in Gurgaon's culture hub Epicentre, people were seen buying art pieces. This was the time when artistes and painters were just hanging and positioning their paintings and the exhibition was yet to start.

The three-day art exhibition, which started from September 23 and will go on till September 25, is all about different forms of art. A collection of absolutely beautiful oil paintings, ink and paint on paper, and acrylics were seen in the huge gallery. Sculptures also had a special place in the exhibition. The only constant in the entire gallery was the beautiful colours that were captured by different artiste. Some played with just charcoal and some drew a really simple painting of a flower but the prominent similarity, which all the paintings had were a plethora of colours.

From professionals to amateurs everyone is showcasing their work in the exhibition, and art connoisseurs have an array of works to choose from. Right from Anindita Kar Roy to Deepak Chaudhary and right from Rs 2000 painting to Rs. 2,00,000 - a variety of artworks are available in the Epicentre Art Mart. After the initial art sale, the event of ‘Art out of waste’ would be inaugurated by Mr. Suresh K Goel, Director General, Indian Council for Cultural Relations. The cultural event for the day would be from the renowned Sanjay Mandal and his troupe. It is an exciting day for art buffs and one who loves to look at art is welcome to the exhibition. 

Anindita Kar Roy, a painter by passion who takes offence if one says that art is her hobby and a yesteryear scientist's work is very interesting and unique in its own way. Completely based on Bengal and its many facets of life, most of her paintings showed a great understanding of the Bengali ritual. From Sindoor Khela to Calcutta Coffee House, each of her paintings has a strong sense of West Bengal. When asked as to why did she start painting she was quite candid to say, “When food is on the table then one can have fun.” And that is precisely what her painting reflected that she loved what she was doing. If in one corner we can she Anindita, another corner is occupied by Darshan Sharma who has been painting for the last 30 years and most of his work is based on Indian deities. Explaining his theme he said, “the idea is to create a corner for the almighty through my painting so that HE is always there amidst us.”

BestCollegeart.com, which is associated with the art event, is a NGO who takes initiative and showcases works of various budding artistes in these kind of exhibition so that amateurs works are appreciated. Another important thing, which Anu Bharara, Director of the site said that the main motive of their site is to provide art to every section of the society and that is why they have art priced from 2000 to 90,000. As she said again and again they want to promote art and motivate new artiste to come to the fore. Ameeshi, a qualified art curator also said that these days the Indian mind is developing and accepting art.

Art is gaining prominence in everyon'e life and the exibitions of these kinds reflect this fact. It is a positive growth as art is important for the inner groth of an indiviual and a society as a whole.
