NABIBAKHSHMANSOORI<br />
Nabibakhsh Mansoori was born in 1966 in Idar, Gujarat. He completed his<br />
Diploma in Fine Art, Drawing and Paintings at the Sheth C.N. College of<br />
Fine Arts, Ahmedabad in 1990, obtaining a Post Diploma in Fine Arts<br />
from the M.S University of Baroda two years later.<br />
Colour has always left him in awe. He was first introduced to it as a child<br />
after his father handed him a prism with convex and concave lens. That<br />
experience transformed the way he saw the world around him and is<br />
strongly reflected in his work to this day – a multitude of colours, daring<br />
brusque colours, layered imagery, sometimes dream-like, vivid use of<br />
light, all combine to drum up an energy in his paintings that leaps out at<br />
you.

NAYANKISNADWALA<br />
Nayan V. Kisnadwala a banker by profession, took to painting later in<br />
life, re-ignited by his passion for art that had laid dormant for decades<br />
as he worked to make a living. Signing his works as Nayanmitra, as<br />
given to him by his spiritual teacher, Her Holiness Anant Sri Vibhusit<br />
Pratham Parvatyacharya GuruMaa J Saraswati, the work is his homage<br />
to the guru. Drawing from symbolism and inspired by scriptures, his<br />
art engages with colour therapy and numerology to create positive<br />
vibrations. Meditative in essence he contributes all sale proceeds from<br />
his art for various charitable causes.

SUCHICHIDAMBARAM<br />
Suchi Chidambaram's paintings express the energy, motion and<br />
vibrancy of places that she has a close association with: India where<br />
she grew up and London, where she now lives and works.<br />
She is drawn to views of cities, their people, the architecture and the<br />
absorbing stories behind them. These are not painted in situ, rather<br />
they are painted from her distinctive memory of these places, often<br />
driven by her emotions. She captures the mood of these cities and<br />
narrate them on to the canvas with impressionistic strokes of thick oil<br />
paint with the use of a palette knife, allowing fragments of visual data<br />
to combine with her subjective and emotional response. They reveal<br />
the rhythm and movement of the people in these places, shifting<br />
between abstract and figurative. As this is an ongoing series for her,<br />
she retells the story of the places she visits - some of course are<br />
revisited and retold more than others...

VAISHALISHADANGULE<br />
After devoting almost two decades to revisiting and reviving Indian<br />
textiles, Vaishali Shadangule draws inspiration from her ability to<br />
observe and listen, leaving her designs to speak for them.<br />
Now a fashion veteran, Vaishali took a giant step when she moved from<br />
her hometown of Vidisha in Madhya Pradesh, India, a place where<br />
one often comes across traditional crafts in one’s daily routine and<br />
hence the adaptation was natural.<br />
Vaishali brews a heady concoction where a glamorous, modern<br />
silhouette is stirred with honest loom fabric and sprinkled with<br />
the fragrance of soil from distant Indian villages. Her creations<br />
are wearable souvenirs amassed from her<br />
many pursuits of Indian weave.
