A Return to Innocence
The wheel has turned and we have come full circle. The season is all about
a return to innocence— the new aesthetic that speaks of a return to
simplicity and nativity.
From complex gadgets and high-tech modernity, the journey has led to a
search for roots, traditions and culture. With works from some of the most
successful and innovative artists in contemporary art, Artflute’s picks for
this season are eminently covetable.
Exploring a wide range of themes, from identity and memory to history
and contemporary culture, the artworks that are part of this collection are
all about redefining and examining what it means to be Indian. Traditional
motifs get a modern spin, while spirituality, innocence, love and nature get
their eternal place in the sun. Inspired by the culture of places such as
Telangana and West Bengal and age-old traditions such as miniature
painting, each artwork is an invitation to tap into what your own
interpretation of the new aesthetic would be.
From mixed media to acrylic and watercolour to oil, these artworks are the
best investments that you could make for your collection.
