Event Description : Haute Services Art Advisory  brings you the Affordable Contemporary Art show at ITC Maurya, The contribution of the first renaissance capital of the country – Bengal – to Indian art and its development is longstanding, enormous and continued. At HSAA, it has been our endeavor to bridge the gap between the promising contemporary artists of Bengal and art lovers.

It has taken a long time working with many artists, apprising and evaluating the mass of art being produced by them, to finally identify about 14 artists that we now work with. The challenges faced were further compounded when, in order to make their art affordable, it required cajoling these very creative people, to get them to produce smaller works without compromising on their creative brilliance.

 Whilst the medium used by these artists is largely  water colours, ink, pencil and charcoal on paper, we are delighted to  present a smorgasbord of a variety of genres resulting in  an interesting blend  of  landscapes, impressionist works,  abstract works, surrealistic works and even some influenced by  traditional Indian art of Kalighat pat paintings.

The exhibition features  artists who are  academic school trained individual artists, some are self taught and a few of them  nonetheless  are influenced  by some of the greatest artists produced by Bengal , or by  Indian art inspired  with nationalism as driving force, often known as the Bengal School. This school created dreamy, wispy imagery on mythological themes inspired from Ajanta cave paintings, through its famous use of the technique of water colour wash.  This school proved strongly influential in shaping the course of art in not just Bengal but the rest of India.  We strongly feel these artists from Bengal have truly created original and imaginative works whilst being influenced by their rich cultural and intellectual climate and tradition of  modern  art. Some of the artists featured are Partha Pratim Ghosh, Sovan Das, Pradip Majumdar, Nirmal Ghosh, Supratim Bose, Pratip Ghosh and Pulak Bannerjee.
