The fourth edition of the event also features the works of renowned artists like Gulam Mohammed Sheikh, Bose Krishnamachari, Bindhi Rajagopal, N.N. Rimson, Shibu Natesan, Tom Vattakuzhy, Bhagyanath, Pradeep Puthoor, Sangeeth Sivan, Sreekanth Netoo, Raghunath R. Hochimin, Ponniam Chandran and O. Sunder. Since there is no theme, all types of styles and thought processes are on display.

The contemporary voices in the Indian art scene are emerging stronger and clearer with more support for younger artists. It is interesting to see new names emerge with a diverse body of work and compelling narrative to their credit. The show is on till August 31.
