Art has a subtle way of impacting and shaping our lives. Indian paintings have piqued the interest of collectors across the globe. For many centuries, traditional forms of art have been able to define its people’s culture in all facets of life and they date back to 2500 BC. However, up until the 1950s, Indian artworks didn’t gain much prominence. Works by eminent artists, like M. F. Hussain, S. H. Raza, Thota Vaikunthum, Amrita Sher-Gil have put us on the map and drastically changed the way Indian paintings have been perceived globally.
The fine art market continues to boom and the demand for Indian paintings is rocketing, it has been seen as a fine investment. Contemporary artworks by emerging artists, Dhan Prasad, Monica Ghule, Nageswara Rao, Anukta Mukherjee Ghosh, too have been in great demand. Buying Indian paintings by both esteemed master artists and emerging artists is not only accessible but has been made easier.
There has been an upsurging demand for modern Indian paintings. The Sub-continent’s cultural nuances, history, religions, and philosophies are richly embedded into the artwork. Similar to traditional art forms such as Madhubani and Warli, contemporary Indian paintings also portray mythological narratives that delve into religious themes, nature-related motifs, and even the ordinary aspects of life that encompass the artist’s surroundings. However, there has also been a radical shift in forms of expression. Many master artists have also embraced Western styles like Cubism, Expressionism and Impressionism into their artwork.
Art is uniquely personal to both the artist who creates it and to the person viewing it. It is an extension of the viewer; it draws them into a state of reflection and appreciation.
