This is a house of art,” is Srila Chatterjee’s simple, but effective description of the short exhibition, 6 Rooms, 1 House, that enters its final week. “We wanted to showcase art from our BARO Art archives, across themes,” the gallerist expands.

The Portuguese-styled heritage bungalow that houses the gallery is transformed into a space that houses six individual yet interconnected exhibitions. “The cottage of 47-A has six rooms. We began from the fundamental idea of wanting to showcase the complexity of Indian art. It was through the use of different themes that we were able to explore a diverse range of mediums, styles, and forms,” Chatterjee explains. From Anwar Chitrakar’s Kalighat impressions, to the traditional works of Mata Ni Pachedi to the more urban observations of Ayesha Broacha and Zainab Tambawalla, the works travel through distinct themes.
