Delving into the world of fine art, leading art aficionado Simar Dugal launches her gallery, Pigment Art with a very invigorating group show by contemporary masters titled, ALT + REFRESH.Presented by Korbel Champagne and hosted by Tonino’s, Alt + Refresh is an attempt by Simar to salute the new voices of current day masters who are lending a new vocabulary to contemporary art.
On this arty affair Simar said, “For me when I wake every morning, I find my walls reaching out into different worlds. I can as easily disappear into the verdant fields of Kerala where women work and speak to the children whose eyes look into my soul as I find Binoy Verghese’s images arresting. Or, venture into the dreamscape world of Manil Gupta, the sparseness of Sachin Deo’s Zen like painting, or the immense confusion of George Martin’s colors that settle in sync at his command. The trance like repetitions of Vijit Sharma, or the intricacy of Yogesh Sharma’s tiny figures, mingle but each with its own expression. All these works are different but at the same time having the same resonance , each having its own strong voice , a voice contemporary and new and most of all of a confident language that has forged a place of its very own in the world arena of contemporary art today.”
The launch witnessed Aarti Singh, Angad Bedi, Shantanu Mehra, AyeshaThapar, Charu Parashar, Rita Sawhney Farah, Amrit Kiran Singh, JJ Valaya, Rajeev Makhni, Monisha Bajaj, Anil Lepps, Nisha Singh, Raseel Gujaral, Navin Ansal, Rima Mehra, Simran Sawhney, Shibani Kashyap, Divya Gurware, Simran Tanwar, Suhel Seth, Rohit Chawla, Vijay Arora, Ritu Kumar, Vikram Baidyanath absorbed in the depth of the paintings.
