October 2013. A well documented catalogue written by the noted art critic and Established modern artists namely, Krishen Khanna, Satish Gujral, Manjit Bawa, Paramjit Singh, Dhruva Mistry, Nagji Patel to name a few, are featuring in this prestigious art exhibition. The highlights of the Show in the modern masters section is a rare set of museum quality artworks titled Raaga Lakeeeran Waali by Krishen Khanna -- a small accordion-fold book of a set of eighteen individual yet interconnected, exquisite pencil drawings on the theme of music. Also, an astounding bronze portrait of the greatest Sufi poet of all times - Jalaluddin Rumi, again by Krishen Khanna.

There are other invaluable collectibles in both paintings and sculptures -- such as a man riding a pair of rams, acrylic on canvas by Satish Gujral; two exquisite works by Paramjit Singh in his typical style of beautifully rendering vast grassy lands and forests with shrubs; and an imposing bull in a seated position, by Dhruva Mistry. Much collected artist, S Yousuf Ali, who was a toast of the Indian art scene in the 1980s, before his untimely demise in the late 90s (just when the art market was gaining momentum), is also one of the highlights of the Aura Art Show 2013.
While the modern artists find their due place in art history, the contemporary section blossoms with freshness in terms of artistic themes and execution. For example, with his oriental color palette and large sized canvases, Veguri Ravindra Babu, a young contemporary artist lets the viewer delve into introspection on issues of urbanization and development. Similarly, Tejinder Kanda, a master of the spatula technique depicts mundane life situations with great vigor and zest by the application of bright impasto colors.
The Show also features stunning artworks created by three Jaipur based artists - Vidhyasagar Upadhyay, Vinay Sharma and Kiran Soni Gupta.
Aura Art Development Pvt Ltd, which has worked steadfastly to expand the art market, has painstakingly put this exhibition together in line with their long term vision. “The art market has gone through an interesting phase, where as hoped and anticipated, quality of the art work matters more than ever before. This is distinct to the signature cult prevailing a few years ago, wherein even the average works of select Masters were being desperately chased by speculating buyers. Over the last 5 years, we have witnessed an interesting change, wherein collectors, both new and old, are as keen to buy quality works of artists with potential, even if the name is not completely established today” says Harmeet Singh Sethi, Director of Aura Art Development Pvt Ltd, who travelled the length and breadth of the country to also assimilate, besides rare works by top masters, some relatively lesser known artists creating high quality works who with persistent efforts have vast potential to be future contemporary masters. Hence, the visitors and collectors at the Aura Art Show 2013 will be treated to rare and precious works of art from 1950s to 2013.
