The Freshness Brought by the India Art Fair
With a creative mindset in hand, the India Art Fair has uplifted new artists from around the world.

Similarly, the sculptor Jonathan Trayte will also present his piece of the world to the world out there.
The India Art Fair gives equal importance to digital works as much as it renders to traditional ones. Artists like Dhruv Jani, Ameya and Sadhna have utilised digital art techniques to work on the theme of ‘Forces of Nature’. Crafted out of iPad and Macbook Pro, the interactive digital art is a step into the wonders of art. Pumping up the threads of outdoor art installations, artists like Jitish Kallat and Sajid Wajid Shaikh will present their masterpieces. The India Art Fair has a lot more to express. It will truly stand as a place where the intangible emotions of the artists will come to life. Maybe you too would find yourself in their imagination.
