Event Description : ‘Citizen Artist Group’ (CAG), is an initiative to encourage & support the hidden talents of the gifted artists. We are an ensemble of people coming from different walks of life with a common fervor of bringing to the world the unexplored richness of cultures across the globe. Under the patronage of Mr. Anand Dev (Ex. Chirman - Lalit Kala Academy & veteran artist), CAG brings to you a collection of 101 paintings, “for you AMRITA…”

To commemorate 101st birth anniversary of the lady who is touted as India's first modern artist - Amrita Sher - gil, CAG is collecting 101 paintings, drawings and graphics reflecting her ideology and portraying the same passion she had for Indian subjects & society. These paintings are the works of veteran artists like Mr. Anand Dev himself, Ms. Aparna Caur, Mr. Avtar singh – Chairman of Indian academy of  fine arts Amritsar, Mr. V. G. Adani (National Awardee & Dean – Gulbarga Art College, Karnataka) and other National Awardees like Mr. Adi Noolam (Commissioner – Ankara Biennale), Mr. A.K.Sharma, Ms. Anuradha, Mr. Rajesh and so on…..

These paintings illustrate the post - impressionism of Ms. Sher - gil's style, and will be coming from the artists across India. This is a tribute in the memory of great woman painter of 20th century India, who is truly a national treasure both literally and metaphorically.
