S’pore art curator Artazzle launched inaugural art exhibition to promote Indian art on a global scale

Appreciating art that originates from another culture may feel intimidating.

But it does not have to be this way with a little nudge and keeping an open mind.

Artazzle is a young local-based brand paving the way as a platform to introduce art to a global audience.

In this case, Indian art.

Specialising in curating and distributing Indian art, Artazzle’s inaugural exhibition, “Indian Art Marvels: Celebrating Icons on Canvas” was held at ION Orchard.

​​The exhibition, which ran from May 31 to Jun. 2, 2024, was open to the public with no admission charges.

“Indian Art Marvels: Celebrating Icons on Canvas” showcased the works of eight established and award-winning Indian artists.

Aimed to simplify art appreciation, the exhibition showcased the artistic prowess that was deeply rooted in India's rich heritage.

The artworks were complemented with a modern allure, making it easy to appreciate.

Installations by 8 established Indian artists

The artworks featured in this exhibition revolved around various themes relating to India – hometowns, religion, nature and relationships.

Pop-art inspired pieces by Gopal Samantray show the contrast between rural and urban living in India.

Anand Panchal’s “Raan” series pays homage to his hometown and the rural village life he grew up living.

The pieces by Jagannath Paull depict faces leaning against each other, highlighting the importance of closeness and familial love in Indian families.

The pieces by Kamar Alam, titled “Believing” and “Subtle Truth”, feature paintings of monks to spread joy, peace and spirituality.

Alam’s works also emphasises the deeper meaning of interconnectedness and karma.

Shrikant Kadam portrays nature in an abstract manner through vibrant colours.

Painting spontaneously, he works with layers of various colours and free strokes to express nature creatively.

Beyond curating and distributing exclusive Indian art, Artazzle also offers personalised services, such as art advisory and consultation to cater to the specific needs of all clients.

The art pieces are also available for purchase on Artazzle’s website with secure worldwide shipping in a bid to champion accessibility.
