1. Director

   Modern Art Gallery

   Feb 2013 — Present

   Modern Art Gallery was founded in 2011 in a heritage building adjoining the Kashmere Gate Monument, which is at the fringe of the Walled City of Shahajahanbad. In 2018, we launched our second gallery in the diplomatic enclaves of Chanakyapuri, New Delhi. Since its inception, MAG has worked towards featuring diverse artists, particularly the emerging artists of India. MAG\'s position as an artistic interlocutor with the public is especially vital in Central and North Delhi because of the lack of any such Gallery in close vicinity.It has been an exciting time working closely with some of India\'s finest artists from different generations. Our gallery houses works of some Indian masters such as Lalu Prasad Shaw, Jogen Chowdhury and MH Hussain. We have had a long track record with the Senior Artists such as Thota Vaikuntham, Subrata Gangopadhya, Lalu Prasad Shaw, Shyamal Mukherjee, Parish Maity, Vijender Sharma, Biplab Biswas, Laxma Gaud and Ramesh Gorjala, who are also internationally acclaimed. Furthermore, we continuously aim to promote and support younger talents such as Somnath Singh, Ajay Bhowmik, Subir Hati and others through our platforms.The gallery hosts four to five major exhibitions each year- Broadly concerned with the exhibition of exemplary work by artists living today, the gallery takes pride in showing artwork irrespective of media, content or subject and makes special efforts to support and show the work of emerging or under-recognized practitioners locally, nationally and internationally. Further, we aim to promote art to the Millennial generation by partnering with younger brands, holding educational events, publishing e-guides, and helping millennials build an art portfolio.
