Gallery Artchill takes pride to announce the opening of Indian Art Show titled 'India -The Revealed Mysteries' in conjunction with the very prestigious Venice Architecture Biennale 2014 at Venice.

Such an art show of over 100 selective art works by 28 Indian artists , revealing a new face of India at a city like Venice which is considered to be the Art Capital of the world , is quite an achievement for each of the artist exhibited. Organised by Jaipur based Gallery Artchill’s collaboration with ARTntide of Verona, Italy , this exhibition showcases a vast expanse of perspectives in multidimensional and multimedia works that are presented in this curated show.

4th June saw a fantastic opening of this show with special performances by Italian Pianists & Singers , a huge gathering of art lovers admired the works & interacted with the artists & the curators . Artists present at opening were ARPANA CAUR, SEEMA KOHLI, CHINTAN UPADHYAY, AKASH CHOYAL, MUKESH SHARMA. Seema kohli gave a performance on - 'Is death possible' in the backdrop of a video film on the opening day. The unique styles &distinct artistic attitudes of these artists in the show intrigued the visitors- from massive installations by Bose Krishnamachari, Surendra Pal Joshi, Mukesh Sharma , Chintan Upadhyay to small photographies . The 3D art of AKASH CHOYAL, the huge sculptures by Thukral & Tagra, Ravinder Reddy, Krishnaraj Chonat , Subodh Gupta -all attracted the art lovers .

It gives me immense pleasure to declare that this is indeed the biggest show of Contemporary Indian Art ever held in ITALY showing selective art of well known Indian Painters & Sculptors on such a big scale .On view for full 4 months duration June 4th, 2014 to 30th September 2014, the show shall provide great visibility to Indian art; it will also strengthen Indian Art positions internationally.

Art is meant to reach out to your inner self and elevate your spirit. It makes a deeper connect with your sub conscious but only if you decide to surrender yourself to the experience that art can offer to you, I am certain that this Indian Contemporary Art Show, unravels some mysteries for each visitor and connects with their personal cosmos. The show is a unique and diverse palette of art created by the best of Indian artists. The list of artists include well known, established, award winning artists and the young promising names ( Ashish Shringi, Moumita Shaw, Madan Meena )of our contemporary world , each with a distinct artistic attitude.

“India -The Revealed Mysteries” curated by Sandro Orlandi is an endeavor to introduce you to various narratives on life through art, as best understood and presented by each artist. It could either be a statement on moral philosophy, social concerns, political opinions, personal anguish, hidden fantasies or activism. It is a first but very positive and promising step which will take us to a vibrant cultural exchange of Indian and Italian Art in future.

All in all this is an incredible & noteworthy Indian Art show on Italian soil, hence i request favour of adequate coverage .
