BCAH : First Anniversary Celebration with Beyond The Form - Exhibition August 4, 2009

Bajaj Capital Art House (BCAH): First Anniversary Celebration with Beyond The Form - Exhibition. Bajaj Capital Art House (BCAH) celebrates its first anniversary with Beyond The Form; a group exhibition of more than forty works including paintings in water colour, oil, pastel and acrylic on canvas & aluminum, digital archival ink on canvas, mixed media on paper and sculptures by fourteen contemporary artists. The participating artists are Anil Gaikwad, George Martin P.J, Jagdish Chinthala, Jayasri Burman, Krishen Khanna, Maya Burman, Murali Cheeroth, Nitish Bhattacharjee, Paresh Maity, Satish Gujral, Sunil Padwal, Viveek Sharma, Vivek Vilasani and T.M. Azis. The celebratory mood will also witness the launch of BCAH's 'Bajaj Capital Art House Artist Fellowship'; a one year fellowship aimed at mid-career visual artists who have had at least two solo and six group shows to their credit and are in the age group of 25 40 years. The final selection will be made on the basis of the artist's track record, current body of work, project proposal and future potential. The selected artist will be awarded a fellowship of Rs 50,000 as cash grant which can be used for research, travel, materials or acquiring facilities as outlined and agreed in the project proposal. The fellowship will conclude with a curated solo exhibition accompanied by a catalogue that BCAH will sponsor and present showcasing the new work created during the year. There are stunning paintings and sculptures by star artists Krishen Khanna, Satish Gujral, Jagdish Chinthala and Paresh Maity while equally remarkable canvases have been contributed by some of the young luminaries including George Martin P.J, Viveek Sharma, Nitish Bhattacharjee and Sunil Padwal. Mixed media has been used dramatically by Vivek Vilasini and Murali Cheeroth who will also be presenting a video installation. While Anil Gaikwad works with juxtaposition of old and new materials, T.M. Azis works is oil on canvas. Jayasri and Maya Burman bring alive the old world charm and reflections of folk form in their contemporary coloration. The works in the show are all unique and refreshingly special - indeed a collector's delight.
