Lot 3 A Buddha in revolutionary Fluid Art, by Ganesh Bhat The Atria Gallery has kindly donated this beautiful pensive Buddha by the famous sculptor Ganesh Bhat, specialist in Indian traditional style stone carvings, one of the richest traditions in India coming from the 7th century BC. Sculpted in three pieces, the serene face of this grey-black granite Buddha, a universal symbol of peace is presented as revolutionary Fluid Art. It can be combined with two meditative hands entwined – a meditative stance; or a hand raised in blessing, the other humbly pointing downward; or both hands raised in an urge for calm. The sculpture can be mounted on a wall or casing to suit the art lovers’ tastes.
Atria. Traditional values, modern context We bring investment art, artefacts and collectibles from across the Indian Sub-continent under one canopy from an array of artists and craft-persons. Whether you are a seasoned collector or looking to make your first purchase there is truly something for everyone. The vision for a globally collaborative network which is Atria today was seeded when the founders Amita Shankar and Neetika Garg began to bring affordable art from India several years ago- building on their passion for Indian heritage and contemporary art and wanting to see its popularity in the modern day.
“The Fluidity of Art and its relevance to the beholder is my singular mission,” says Shri Ganesh Bhat “Art should be adaptable to the beholder’s palate!”
