Spring promises an exciting time for connoisseurs of Indian art as 'Artvoyage' launches with a voyage of discovery that inspires the soul and reveals the essence of the human spirit. Artvoyage's first exhibition 'Scenes From A Voyage', a six-day show of works by some of the top artists of India, runs from 19 to -24 April at the Nehru Centre in London. Sir GK Noon MBE, Chairman, Noon Products Ltd will inaugurate the show.

There is a growing interest in Indian art and museums have now begun to display Indian contemporary art rather than Indian antiques. The show represents about twenty artists, each having their own variations in development and style, allowing viewers to get an overview of their different styles and techniques. 'The show gives people an opportunity to have physical interaction with a piece of work, several hundred miles away from its origin' says Gayatri Singh, Co-founder and Director. Nearly all fifty of the works to be exhibited at the show have not been seen prior to this exhibition.

'Our key objective is to do shows for people to get a good look at what is being created in India today' says Parminder Vir, OBE who is one of the co-founders of Artvoyage. 'We want to develop the commercial market for Indian art in London. Further, we want to get South Asian artists and UK Asian artists more exposure to the global arts market.'

The show brings works by artists in Calcutta, Bangalore, Patna, Hyderabad, Delhi and Mumbai. Artists include Aditya Basak, Chandra Bhattacharjee, Bratin Khan, Phalguni Dasgupta, Pasenjit Sengupta, Dewashish Das, Sanatan Dinda, Shipra Bhattacharya, Subrata Gangopadhyay, Suman Roy, Suman Roy, Tapas Ghosal, Dharmendra Rathore, Swapan Palley, John Fernandes, Sidharth, Laxma Goud, Subrata Kundu and Subrata Saha.
