Indigo Blue Art presents a new collection of 46 works that offers a panoramic view of Indian Art today. Each of the 23 artists selected for the show are chosen by the virtue of style, medium and content to achieve a variety that projects a holistic view of the trends in contemporary Indian Art.  
 
The exhibition will showcase the 46 works in a life-size grid, with the intent to experiment and test the boundaries of conventional display of art and curatorship. The art on display does not revolve around a given concept or theme.  Instead, these varied pieces of art are collected from contemporary Indian scenario and collated through an experiment with display. Each piece of art is treated as an individual within a matrix of time; stylistically; by medium and/or by subject. What binds them all together is the size of the artwork (18’’x 18’’), and the disparity that is ordered through the display – or otherwise known as ‘the grid’.
 
From the collage-based medium and style of Samit Das’s urban landscape to the tribal art influenced mélange of colours by Dhaneshwar Shah; the happy faces by Farhad Hussain to the abstraction of Probir Gupta; the real/unreal photographs of Atul Bhalla, to the images of the self by Surekha; the distinct quality of each piece is used to highlight the other. The exhibition does not include panel texts, in an attempt to achieve a pure viewing experience without the distraction of text.  
 
The grid acts as a whole, where the meaning lies in its parts; each part, each artwork, contributing and defining the whole and vice versa. The multiplicity of the medium from oil on canvas to acrylic, photography to relief or mixed media, is combined into the whole, through the encounter with the grid, expressing the individuality through the collective.  
 
As the viewer moves from one painting to another, one observes a movement that is not static but dynamic. As one moves from a broad overview to a close-up look at an individual detail, one sees, and lets the viewer see, how the two levels are related: a chance encounter with the grid.
