I finally got a call to put up my work in a place other than Delhi. I have had done a few shows at art galleries around Delhi, but when a Chennai art gallery called me up, I was not too sure but I went anyway. They told me they would put me up at a POD Boutique hotel in Chennai. I did not what that meant, but I went along. It was the Park Hotel, one of the 5-Star boutique hotels in Chennai. I was there for a full week, that is how long the art show went, and everyday found something new to do at the hotel.
At the art gallery too, I ended up selling two of my pieces. Besides, was introduced to a few curators who promised to show my work around. I got to know a lot from the other artists there. The days were great – interacting with them, hanging around with like-minded people. The evenings were even better – drive to the beaches, roadside dinner. The nights were the best as most of us were staying at The Park POD and would stay up till late chatting, or at the Sauna.
I came back inspired enough to paint quite a few canvases and next month am going back for another show there. Hope I check into the same hotel!
