The Art Book Exhibition: Online Edition 1

How often do we really engage with art in a gallery? Usually just a few minutes, with distracted attention. However, the experience of an artwork changes dramatically when encountered in the form of a book. Unlike a distant, framed painting, an artist’s book offers an intimate, tactile experience, drawing the viewer deeper into its world. By engaging with it over days or months, readers can discover the nuances and details often missed in fleeting gallery visits, creating a unique bond with the artwork and its characters.

The Art Book Exhibition-Online Edition 1  features original and limited edition by Jai Zharotia, Gouri Vemula, and Sunanda Khajuria. Their works explore mystical, mythical, and reality-based themes, transforming the viewing process into a cinematic journey. The viewer is not only immersed in the narrative and imagery, but also gets a close-up view of the artist’s technique—from the application of paint to the intricacy of draftsmanship. This multi-sensory experience, combining sight, touch, and thought, makes an artist’s book a more absorbing and enjoyable way to experience art.
