Bespoke Art Gallery: Based in Ahmedabad, Bespoke Art Gallery is a distinguished contemporary art space representing a curated selection of international artists. Known for its discerning eye and commitment to quality over quantity, the gallery represents fewer geographies but with deeper engagement and storytelling. It was founded by Mr. Devin Gawarvala, one of India’s Under 30 art collectors, whose passion for art and cultural dialogue has positioned Bespoke as one of the most forward-thinking galleries in the country.

Swati Goel is an abstract artist whose practice centers around abstraction, color, emotion, home, family, hope, light, and a sense of relatability.

On rare occasion when he uses negative space he does so with finesse and purpose. In the picture where a man rests under the shadow of a rock which rests upon rather tenuously on a bigger rock. The chunk of negative space on the left if not attended to properly would make the composition precarious. However an aware photographer waits for the arrival of human form to step into that space, solidly anchoring the rock. Visually addressing the precarity of the rock tremendously enhances the restfulness of the scene.

In creating a consciousness of relationships, intimacy and intrigue Dev Inder invites the landscape to partner him. Dead stumps rise up in vertical verse. Lifeless branches of trees lying on the ground, breathless and bleached, become animated limbs by delicate handling of the form and tones. Landscapes of grit start teaming with life and redemption. As Walter Pater has famously said “All art constantly aspires towards condition of music”, we hear notes of music rise in Dev Inder’s “The Echoes of Silence”

About Speaking Art Foundation:
Speaking Art Foundation is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting visual arts, empowering artists, and linking art with social impact. Through exhibitions, workshops, and outreach initiatives, the Foundation strives to make art accessible and meaningful.

The first edition of Speaking Art Fest was held at AIFACS Grounds, New Delhi, followed by the second edition at Rabindra Bhawan, Lalit Kala Akademi, New Delhi- both receiving immense appreciation from the art fraternity. The third edition at Naational School of Drama (NSD) promises to be even more engaging, inclusive, and inspiring.

Having exhibited her works across India and Dubai, Kamat’s journey in architectural art has been shaped by years of close observation and experimentation. “My move to cityscape art was a natural progression of a lifelong passion,” she shares. “From a young age, I was captivated by architectural design and the different ways light plays on structures. I try to translate those observations, sometimes literally, sometimes abstractly, into colour and form. The process is deeply meditative, and the emotion that emerges through vibrant hues gives me immense joy and fulfilment.”

Created over the last four years or so, the show features approximately 25 to 30 works in acrylic and watercolour, varying in size and composition. “It has taken me about eight to ten years to put all these works together. Each painting represents a stage of learning, growth, and discovery”, she concludes.

Shailaja S Kamat’s art show ‘Beyond the Shapes’ will be on display at Leela Art Gallery, The Leela, Andheri (E), Mumbai, from 27th October to 2nd November 2025.

NCR-based artist Mousumi Bhattacharyya presents her solo art exhibition at Shailja Art Gallery, 5th Floor, Suncity Business Tower, Golf Course Road, Sector 54, Gurgaon, from 11th to 15th October 2025. The show will be inaugurated on 11th October
