Gallery West End opens its hall for an upcoming art show, ‘Détente: A Haven of Artistic Rhapsody’ The show debuted at Travancore Palace on May 1st, 2024, and will continue at Gallery West End from May 6th to 15th May 2024. The gallery, located in New Delhi, has established itself as a venue that showcases modern and contemporary, Indian and International art by master artists, as well as senior contemporary, and emerging artists.
‘Détente’ aspires to steward as a conduit for the spectators to traverse through the exhibit and experience a diverse array of artistic themes, where the fixtures and frames emanate with vibrant hues of creativity and echoes of diverse narratives. Each artist and their work reflects a unique perspective on evolution, the living world’s complexion, sum and substance, culture, societal constructs, social cloth, and beyond.
Marvel at surreal landscapes that transport you to distant realms, creative interpretations of folklore, primal instincts, cultural heritage, personal and archival experiences, emotions, and the subconscious mind. Each of these influences offers immersive insights into the awe-inspiring macrocosm that is the creative universe. Here, reality merges with fantasy, inviting you to ponder the mysteries of the mind’s eye.
The exhibition offers interactive elements that enable the audience to directly engage with select artworks by the artists in focus. Invitees will not only have the opportunity to observe the artistic process up close but also have the choice to acquire the works to adorn their personal spaces, alongside the chance to interact directly with the guest artists.
The exhibition will feature works by renowned master artists such as M F Hussain, S H Raza, G R Santosh, Satish Gujral, Manu Parekh, B Prabha, Anjolie Ela Menon, Ajay Samir, Anup Kumar Chand, Ashok Bhowmick, along with contributions from other contemporary and participating artists like M Narayan, Bahaar Dhawan Rohatgi, Sanuj Birla, Aditee Garg and more.

About Sumer Raj Chadha
Sumer Raj Chadha, a true patriot of the arts, grew up appreciating art that was acquired over the years by his grandmother, the late Santosh Raj Chadha, who started collecting art in the late 1960s. In the later years, his parents continued to add art to their growing collection and eventually, he converted his lifelong love for art into a business venture. An anecdote from his childhood that still resonates with him is his grandmother’s words on their flight back from an art show in Paris “Every Child Is an Artist”, she quoted the great Pablo Picasso. She encouraged him to paint draw and pursue art with confidence. Growing up under her warm guidance, he inculcated the ethics of creative imagination and learned to appreciate art in its purest form from her and his mother, also a passionate art collector and art advisor.
