10 Young Contemporary Indian Artists to Watch

In line with this month's theme, I came across the TED talk on the 10 young contemporary Indian artist to watch that I thought I'd share.

Artist Profile: Vishal Misra

I've spent many many hours, over the last few months, admiring the work of so many gifted Indian artists. I finally decided it is time to share some of these wonderful artists with you guys. I declare October, 'Artist Profile Month' on Soundhornplease. Now, I know I am making this declaration when we are already more than 10 days into October. I promise to make up for my frazzled last minute ideas by being less lazy and posting more posts :)

I kick-off the 'Artist Profile Month' with the extremely talented Vishal Misra. Vishal is a Chartered Accountant by profession and has received no formal training in art. But his amazing portfolio of work has been exhibited in India, Canada, the US, Japan, London and Dubai.

I loved his Ganeshas series. I seem to have a soft spot for elephants recently. 

Figurative or Abstract- very aptly titled by Vishal.
