After four hit showcases depicting contemporary art of Ganesha (in 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2009 respectively), The Gallery of Gnani Arts takes pride in presenting POWER GANESHA: Show 5, a blockbuster exhibition of contemporary depictions of the celebrated icon. The exhibition will be showcased at two venues.
We take this chance to invite you to be our guest at the official opening of this significant exhibition on 14 September 2010, at 7pm at The Gallery of Gnani Arts (#01-05, The Regent Singapore). Kindly view the attached e-invite.
POWER GANESHA: Show 5 is the 5th in an exclusive series of art exhibitions, conceptualised and presented by The Gallery of Gnani Arts, showcasing contemporary depictions of Ganesha, a popular Hindu god; a narrative catalyst in Indian mythology; an inseparable aspect of contemporary Hindu/Indian life; and indisputably a global cultural icon. Each one of more than twenty participating masters and emerging artists (who hail from various national and cultural scenarios - Pakistani, French, Chinese, Singaporean and Indian) embark on the challenge of creating aesthetically-convincing visual representations of Ganesha, within or without the adherence to stereotypical depictions, while retaining his/her characteristic individual style. Aproximately ten of the participating artists will be present at the official opening of the exhibition.
A preview of the meticulously-consolidated collection will be available on-line at http://www.gnaniarts.com/db/ganesha.php from 8 September 2010 onwards.
