This is, of course, understandable, given that even the slightest whisper of inauthenticity can and will lead to lasting repercussions. For us, therefore, collaboration is a viable solution & the heart of this exhibition. ‘Entente’ thus is way to celebrate the spirit of collaboration. Not just, of course, to bring together the vastly different worlds of art and commerce but to also ensure each provides a fillip to the other. With this in mind, we are providing a platform to multiple artists to showcase their talents.”
The artworks exhibited reflects themes around, the architectural congestion presently underway, masculinity & gender in the perspective of metropolis existence, socio-economic crisis, mystical link between angels & demons and the stories behind closed doors, philosophy of life, human emotions, among host of other themes. While some works had the influence of Shantiniketan in West Bengal, some reflected the life in Delhi while some were inspired from Jaipur.
