FN Souza - India Francis Newton Souza (April 12, 1924 - March 28, 2002), Commonly Referred to As F John Whittingdale, MP OBE “The launch of Art Select marks an exciting development for art investment in the UK and it is a pleasure to be here at the start of this venture. I look forward to watching this initiative as it expands into the UK market, bringing Middle Eastern and South Asian art to London’s collectors and enthusiasts.” “Showcasing art influenced by a variety of cultures and origins allows initiatives, such as Art Select UK, to play an instrumental role in establishing cultural alliances with organisations and entities across the globe, through the shared appreciation of contemporary art. Arts and culture is crucial in shaping the tone and nature of intercultural relations. It o!ers a medium through which cultural heritage and identity can be experienced and interpreted and provides a neutral platform from which artists and audiences can come together. It is the innate ability of arts and culture to unite people by representing the unique stories of the artists and regions from which they originate. By bringing some of the most vibrant, energetic and innovative South Asian and Middle Eastern art to the UK, Art Select helps to develop a greater understanding of the values, identity and history of our fellow art lovers from around the world. It is my hope that the tradition of cultural exchange will continue in the hope that art appreciators and collectors in the UK may be inspired and emboldened to bring international art into their homes. In a world that is becoming increasingly connected, strengthening cultural ties is of the utmost importance.” Art Select is a unique initiative launched on the strength of a private passion of founder and owner Kaneka Subberwal which today is a strong and successful international business format. Hosting high caliber exhibitions together with providing a platform for emerging artists has given Art Select a definite edge in making art more accessible, thereby strengthening its association with clients from various cities including Dubai, Muscat, London and Bahrain. The art exhibited ranges from the masters to emerging talent from India, Pakistan and the Middle East. It is the endeavor of Art Select team to position itself as a valuable resource for a substantial range of quality art. And finally to advise, consult and assist clients in understanding art as an investment and the significance of building private and corporate collections. Kaneka Subberwal Aadil Abedi Amiya Bhattacharya F N Souza Gourav Bhattachayra Ismail Gulgee Jamal Abdul Rahim Mahendra Bhagat Manu Parekh Mattar Bin Lahej Pupinder Singh Ghatora Mazarine Memon Managing Director - Art Select UK “investment in art beyond boundaries, is a vision we hope to capture “ MF Husain It is a pleasure to work alongside Art Select Bahrain to launch Art Select in the UK. Art has always been a true passion of mine and, having built a successful international N. Warour business, I felt that the time had come to follow my interests and launch Art Select UK. Art Select is an initiative to take art across borders, bringing artists of the highest Radhika Hamlai calibre together to interact with art lovers and collectors from around the world. The launch of Art Select in London represents our arrival into the art capital of the world Suchi Chidambaram and it is an honour to present this inaugural exhibition and the launch of Art Select in Tauseef Khan the UK. Tina Chandroji Uzma Dadabhai Wahab Ja!er MF Husain - India The name Maqbool Fida Husain has become almost synonymous with contemporary Indian art, and deservedly so, for no single artist has popularised Indian art, within the country or internationally, as Husain has done. His endless quest for his cultural roots and a fearlessly open-minded willingness to absorb diverse influences has made M. F. Husain one of the most recognizable figures of contemporary Indian art. Born in 1915 in Pandharpur, Maharashtra, a self-taught artist he came to Mumbai in 1937, determined to become a painter.He began his career by painting billboards for feature films and making furniture designs and toys, to earn a living. In 1948, he was invited by F.N. Souza to join the Progressive Artist’s Group, a group formed to explore a new idiom for Indian art. Sometimes a poet, sometimes an installation artist, and a film maker, Husain is one contemporary artist who has not allowed the brush and the canvas to imprison him. Shown in Sao Paolo Biennales 1959 and 1971 (invitee together with Picasso); India, Myth and Reality, Oxford, 1982; Modern Indian Painting, Hirshhorn Museum, Washington, D.C., 1982; Six Indian Painters, Tate Gallery, London, 1982; Contemporary Indian Art, Festival of India, Royal Academy of Art, London, 1982; and Coups de Coeur, Geneva, 1987. Retrospectives: Mumbai, 1969; Kolkata, 1973; Delhi, 1978. Rajva Sabha member, 1986. Awards (selected): Padma Shri; Padma Bhushan -1989; Lalit Kala Ratna - 2004; and honorary doctorates. Title: Mother Teresa Title: Horses Size: 21” x 15” Size: 21” x 15” Medium: Water color on paper Medium: Water color on paper Aadil Abedi - India Aadil Abedi is an acclaimed London-based artist and designer. Contemporary Arabic and Indian influences, alongside rich colours and Swarovski crystals, characterize his work. Inspired by Arabic calligraphy, damask prints, and abstract designs, he creates original artwork with a contemporary e!ect, giving an ancient tradition a modern twist. Aadil’s art is not confined to any particular religion, time, place, or medium. He merges his Indian heritage and ancestral Arabic roots to create new forms of art. Using acrylics on canvas, he incorporates textures, crystals and fabrics to make his paintings truly unique. Each piece is handmade and customised to a client’s specification. Clients receive one- on-one consultation and personalised service to cater to their art needs. Aadil often bases his work on clients’ interiors, creating distinctive and rare pieces that have a lasting impact. Aadil has been commissioned by well-known personalities such as Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Arjun Rampal to design customised pieces for their homes. His work has been showcased in Dubai, London, New York, Sydney, and Mumbai. Magazines such as Emel, You & I, WKND (Khaleej Times) have covered Aadil’s journey from his studio in London to international acclaim. Title: Sufi inspired ‘Hub’ - ‘Love’ (with Rumi Poetry) Size: 40” x 40” Medium: Acrylic on canvas with Swarovski crystals Amiya Bhattacharya - India “….and my images - the yearning hand, the half moon, the banana leaves, most of all the women – are all part of a simple past, and the dreams of a magical childhood.” Born in 1949, Amiya Bhattacharya studied at the Indian College of Arts in Kolkata, and thereafter joined the Ananda Bazar Patrika Group of Publication, where today he is the Senior Art Director and also designs for Penguin India. Amiya’s statement is found in social reality. He is an artist of rare emotion and sensitivity. And his statements focus on social realities, often powerful and evocative of the truth as he perceives it. Since his natural di"dence prevents him from voicing his innermost thoughts and feelings, he turns, like so many socially reticent people into being profoundly articulate in his art. For Amiya, it is his form of eloquence. Amiya has participated in exhibitions at Taj Art Gallery and Jehangir Art Gallery in Mumbai; Hong Kong Visual Art Centre; Indian Art Unbound I in London (2004); Indian Art Unbound II Grand Hyatt Dubai(2005); Indian Art Unbound Revisited, New Delhi 2005; Euphonic Palettes, Mumbai (2006); Euphonic Palettes Dubai (2006); Uninterrupted Journeys-Dubai (2007) Across Boundaries-A Collage, Dubai, Muscat & London (2008) Title: Untitled Size: 36” x 48” Medium: Mix media on canvas FN Souza - India Francis Newton Souza (April 12, 1924 - March 28, 2002), commonly referred to as F. N. Souza, was an Indian artist. He was a founding member of the Progressive Artists Group of Bombay, and was the first post-independence Indian artist to achieve high recognition in the West. After this he founded the Bombay Progressive Artists’ Group to encourage Indian artists to participate in the international avant-garde. However, in 1949, after India became independent, he left the country for London. In early 1950s he started getting recognition for his works at Gallery One, North London. The Institute of Contemporary Arts included work of his in a 1954 exhibition, and other shows followed. His literary talents also helped his career after the publication of the autobiographical work Nirvana of a Maggot in Encounter, a journal then edited by Stephen Spender. His book Words and Lines published 1959 cemented his literary reputation. Souza’s career developed steadily, and he participated in several shows, receiving positive reviews from John Berger. His style was, as Berger pointed out, deliberately eclectic: essentially Expressionist in character, but also drawing on the post-war Art Brut movement and elements of British Neo-romanticism. His work was often highly erotic. According to art historian Yashodhara Dalmia, After 1967 he settled in New York, but returned to India shortly before his death, Souza was buried in Sewri cemetery in Mumbai, in a quiet funeral on March 30, 2002.

Political activist, actor, playwright and poet, Safdar had been deeply committed, like so many young men and women of his generation, to the anti-imperialist, secular and egalitarian values that were woven into the rich fabric of the nation’s liberation struggle. Safdar moved closer to the Left, eventually joining the CPI(M), to pursue his goal of being part of a social order worthy of a free people. Tragically, it would be of the manner of his death at the hands of a politically patronised mafia that would single him out. The spontaneous, nationwide wave of revulsion, grief and resistance aroused by his brutal murder transformed him into a powerful symbol of the very values that had been sought to be crushed by his death. Such a death belongs to the revolutionary martyr. 6 PUBLICATIONS Safdar was thirty-four years old when he died.

Painters, sculptors, printmakers, teachers, they have made a name for themselves, but in the absence of their work being shown nationally—rather than regionally, as has been the norm—many have remained outside mainstream discourse. At DAG, it has been our effort to ensure their rediscovery and recognition, something we continue to do with our Silver Series, fixed-price online sales. The outstanding success of the first two editions is an indicator that art-lovers also have an appreciation for lesser-known names, as well as those whose works do not appear frequently in the market. Our endeavour with every edition will be to continue to surprise you with the mix of artists and the quality of their work. I hope the additions in this edition will bring you joy. If you miss any favourites, I assure you that you will find them in subsequent editions.

  • Manu Parekh 60 Years of Selected Works​ at the NGMA Mumbai
    PRESS RELEASE Manu Parekh 60 Years Of Selected Works at the NGMA Mumbai ​ Major retrospective opens with accompanying book Banaras Landscape VII. Photo courtesy of the artist, Art & Soul gallery and NGMA, Mumbai ​ February 2018: Art & Soul Gallery, Mumbai is pleased to present the retrospective Manu Parekh 60 Years ​ ​ of Selected Works with over 150 works at the National Gallery of Modern Art, Mumbai (NGMA) along ​ ​ with an accompanying book of the same title in collaboration with Ministry of Culture, Government of India. The preview of the exhibition is on 12 March 2018 at 6pm and the exhibition will run until 15 April 2018. ​ ​ Manu Parekh is one of India’s most inventive painters. His early work explored the relationship between ​ man and nature, which according to him was an energetic link that had to be celebrated. Since then, contradictions have formed the basis of his artistic practice, no matter the subject or genre of his works. Polemics have always intrigued Manu Parekh – the energy of the organic form and the inherent sexuality within these forms are intangible elements in his works. His paintings provoke viewers to take notice of the world around them through the emotion, pain and anguish expressed in the subjects of his paintings. His colors and forms exude a volatile energy that can barely be contained within the confines of the canvas, and become an extension of his personality. “This exhibition is the first comprehensive survey of artworks spanning nearly six decades of a long creative career that demonstrates the depth and diversity of Parekh's practice.
