4th Edition of India Art Fair:

dia Art Fair 2012

4th Edition of India Art Fair:India Art Fair (formerly India Art Summit) 26-29th January 2012, which will be held at its new venue NSIC Exhibition Grounds, Okhla in New Delhi for the first time this year. “The organizers of India Art Fair confirm that the total value of art work that is being displayed at the 4th Edition of India Art Fair from 25-29 January 2012 at NSIC Exhibition Grounds, Okhla, New Delhi, is in the region of 50 – 70 crore Rupees”
In this exhibition converge the travels of two artists: Sunaina Bhalla, an Indian artist who lives in Singapore for the moment and Jordi Gispert Pi an artist from the region of Catalonia in Spain. Both are thoughtful artists who are engaged with their personal environment.
Jordi comes to India for the first time with a painting exhibition bringing ‘The world’s largest landscape”. Through the artworks the signature style of Jordi is unfolded. Almost otherworldly magical figures which center around the eco systems. Jordi says:”…The message of the art piece is to provoke reflection and second thoughts about the current abuse of nature and the way it is manipulated. The way trees have existed before humanity and the way trees exist today after humanity. The assembly of the art piece allows for easy hanging against any type of walls, and also allows for suspension from the ceiling. The viewing pleasure of the art piece is maximized when the light reflects in 3 simultaneous modes…”
Sunaina on the other hand has been engaged with issues of gender in the recent past. The body of her work seeks to foreground the increasing visibility of the contemporary Indian woman. Sunaina wonders why Indian women feel the need to pursue equality with men, when they have reserves of formidable strength within and this is what the thematics of the show.
Parallel Journeys is an interesting trajectory of two diverse voices from two different geographies expressing the emotions of two distinct artists.
