Gallerie Ganesha has successfully promoted two young artists, Paresh Maity and Neeraj Goswami, who are now
regarded as artists of note on a national level. There have been numerous others, including, but not limited to,
Jayasri Burman, Sisir Sahana, Mohan Singh, and Devdatta Padekar. In earlier years, Shobha Bhatia, director and
founder of Gallerie Ganesha, was successful in raising the necessary awareness by offering a gallery environment
that was friendly rather than intimidating. The gallery serves as a platform and gathering place for both
artists and art enthusiasts and the idea that art should both please the eye and the heart is one that Gallerie
Ganesha still adheres to.

Master Watercolourists
Since the mid-thirties, watercolour has been mostly overshadowed by the expanding power of the oil medium
for about four decades. Anathema to the purist school of the watercolour medium, the clean transparency of
watercolours were frequently combined with the application of gouache or body colour in the majority of
urban art centres in India. The medium nevertheless kept the incredible tonal richness that Abanindranath
Tagore, Gaganendranath Tagore, and Nandlal Bose had given it when they incorporated the technique that
had been developed from the conventional Sino-Japanese customs.
