Their objective is to promote and spread awareness about Indian artists and their artwork – which includes paintings, jewellery and antiquities made by Indian artists. Founded in 2000, they are committed to bridging the cultural gap between the Indian and global art eco system.
Among the myriad of famous artists being showcased in the online auction is Sudarshan Shetty, well known for his piece “House of Shades” that was commissioned by Louis Vuitton and unveiled in Galleria de Milano in 2010. Sudarshan Studio ‘s painting ‘Praise of Shadows’ is featured here. The placement of a fish’s skeleton in a quotidian space such as the one depicted here offers a unique juxtaposition between mundane life and fantasy.
