I am an art curator and scholar based in India. I specialise in Indian folk and tribal art simply because folk and tribal art are straight-from-the heart! No arty pretensions, just an honest search for meaning and beauty, a wonderful expression of the Aesthete that dwells in each of us.
Modern times have been quite challenging for folk and tribal arts in India - globalization and changing tastes have resulted in such art forms either transforming or disappearing. While contemporary Indian art ( the so called Modern/Western Art) commands fantastical prices in auctions worldwide, folk and tribal arts are languishing, with the next generation not really willing to follow these traditional practices.
As curatorial advisor to museums and collectors worldwide, I am lucky to view such art. This is an attempt to share some of the beautiful art works I come across.
Enjoy.....Art.........Straight from the Heart !!
God Bless !!
