Indian Summer is an expression given to a period of sunny, warm weather in Autumn in the Northern hemisphere, typically in mid-October till November, after the leaves have turned but before the first snowfall. Like a luxuriant warm breath of fresh air from the Indian subcontinent, the young award-winning artists in this exhibition bring a hearty note to the Singapore art calendar before the end of the present year.

Hailing from the Western state of Maharashtra which is India’s third largest by area, second largest by population and its richest by wealth, the state feeds Mumbai, India’s financial and artistic capital with its human talent: this crop of emerging painters could well turn out to be the masters of tomorrow. Having been born in or having studied in various districts of Maharashtra, these artists have already begun their career by exhibiting in Mumbai, and now Singapore, for many, their first overseas location.
