The young and upcoming artists have already been recognized as accomplished and having a forte in their chosen path.
The participating artists:
Dimpy Menon
“There is a meditative quality to Dimpy Menon's works arising out of a stillness that characterizes prayer, like the stillness at the eye of a storm”
Bimal Kundu
His eight feet high Bird, made of aluminum, welcomes thousands of visitors every day at Kolkata airport. Other landmark creations of this sculptor are 14 feet high Birpurush and 10 feet high Kolkata (medium-concrete) stand majestically at Nicco Park and V I P Road in Kolkata respectively.
Sharanu Alloli
Sharanu Alloli is a Mumbai based artist trained under Andani VG at Gulbarga art school. He is famous for his nude self-portraits which he painted more than 50 still counting. His early success came from Singapore art auction house Larasatti.
Sakti Burman
In the artist’s work, reality mingles with the world of his dreams. The artist had his first solo exhibition in 1954 in Kolkata, and has since exhibited widely across the world including at venues like the Galerie des Beaux-Arts, Paris; Piccadilly Gallery, London; Galerie Doucet et Coutureau, Paris; Galleria Nuovo Sagittario, Milan; and Galerie Sagar, Zurich.
Ravi Shah
Exposed to art from an early age by his mother, an art critic, Shah formally studied painting and sculpture at several institutions, Shah's works have also been featured in several group exhibitions in India, Belgium, Poland, the United Kingdom and the United State.
S. Nandagopal
One of the first set of artists to move into Cholamandal. This versatile artist is a recipient of National Award of Lalit Kala Academy and the Jindal Stainless Steel award for sculpture. Honoured with Senior Fellowship by the Government of India and Nominated as an advisor to the National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi. S Nandagopal is often inspired by parables and tales as these myths give form to the infinite philosophies of India. None the less he is not bogged down in a past, but embraces the present to find the Now.
Akhil Chandra Das
There is something quite surreal about these sculptural works, both in their juxtaposition of quirky, absurd objects and in their representations of a hypocritical society with desire for objects.
Pintu Sikdar
His works are sometimes textural and times highly Polished and finished. His works show that he is a figurative Artist fully conversant with anatomical academic realism.
Arzan Khambatta
Arzan is a qualified Architect from Rachna Sansad's Academy of Architecture, The desire to start transforming scrap to art form convinced Arzan to learn the art of welding. He now sculpts from metal sheets, straps, rods, pipes and various other sections that are twisted, beaten and textured to give the desired effect. The next time you drive around Mumbai, take a look at the rhinoceros made of scrap at Nariman Point, and the dolphins at Worli. Both have been done by him and have a permanent place in the city.
John Zacharia
For Zack, the movement to stone was natural and inevitable. Working with one of the most unforgiving mediums, he seeks to explore the untapped potential of stone, transforming it into a liquid, fluid articulation that focuses on the tactile senses of touch, movement and sensation to reveal the inner dimensions of experience and deliberation.
Karuppiah
His subject of study is the horse; in drawing, terracotta, or bronze sculpture in which he captures the power of a creature that can take man on a flight of fantasy.
Do visit the Hotel to witness these creations.
