Bodhi Art's mission is to promote and present Indian art to the global market. Mr Amit Judge, founder of Bodhi Art stresses on the importance of his goal and says, " Our main objective is to encourage and internationalize contemporary Indian artists and their works; and to establish a sold dialogue between Indian art and the rest of the world."
This September, Bodhi Art Gallery is entering the U.S. art circuit. With it's 6000 sq feet space in the heart of Chelsea, Bodhi Art will make it's grand debut with leading artist Atul Dodiya's exhibition. It's walls will feature a collection of exclusive works on paper from Dodiya's successful travelling show, "The Wet Sleeves of My Paper Robe ( Sabari in her Youth: After Nandalal Bose)".
