From the wooden carvings of Saharanpur to the stone works of Rajasthan; from the embroidery of Kutch to the paintings of Thanjavur; from the crafts of Jodhpur to the silks of Surat, the dazzling array of choices available is mind boggling for any true appreciator of art. Artistry, like intelligence, is not the slave of wealth or place. It can blossom in the barren sands of Kutch or in the fertile plains of Ganges with equal probability. Like all cultural elements, fresh outlook and new perspectives are the defining forces for the vitality of art. Its values have to be captured afresh by every generation and would be subject to constant reinterpretation. From recreation to a basis of livelihood, art in India has thrived over the centuries. In modern day India, hundreds of thousands of artisans earn their living through their skill. Artistry is in their genes, handed down through generations and using it to create mesmerizing works is almost routine for them. These are the groups of artisans that we source from and it is their work that we wish to present to you. You are at the doorstep of this magical Indian workmanship. We welcome you into this world of priceless artistry. |
