From getting inspired to now inspiring the world, Vinita Mansingka has kept her mind open to possibilities and adventures. For her, recognising and providing a platform to young and talented artists has been a rewarding process as a curator. She feels that apart from visiting physical spaces, online art portals are bringing in a new wave of buying undiscovered pieces of art. These spaces are not just convenient for the artist but the art buyer too, adding ease and trust in the entire process. With this ideal, she launched "ART VINDOW" - a new age physical and online art gallery in Kamala Mills, Mumbai.
Art Vindow launches with a solo exhibition: Liner Unparalleled Experience, featuring the veteran artist Milind Mulick. The online exhibition commences from the 11th of October until 21st November 2021 on the Art Vindow website and the gallery. Art Vindow is an exciting new platform where they personally guide a customer towards artwork that best resonates with their ideas. Focussing on a customer’s vision, preference, requirement, budget etc. Every piece of art sold by Art Vindow comes along with a certificate of authenticity. The artworks range from Rs.7500 going up to Rs.5,00,000. This is how they get the ball rolling.
Living in New York, Vinita blissfully envied the reach and influence that art had on the lives of New Yorkers. She came across children at art galleries and museums, who collected art and appreciated art from a young age. She observed many young Americans visiting art galleries and collecting art pieces. This culture was something she definitely wanted to bring back home. Vinita wished to encourage art collection in India as well and wanted to eventually launch her own art gallery in India. And, this is where she decided to change the face of art in India.
The curator and founder of the gallery, Vinita Mansingka, a watercolour enthusiast, loved art growing up but while studying Management at NYU, she came across young Americans visiting art galleries and collecting art pieces from their favourite artists. This culture was something she definitely wanted to bring back home. That’s when she decided to launch Art Vindow at Kamala Mills and put the works of young and vibrant artists under the spotlight. More and more collectors find it convenient to scroll through a range of works. With a systematic catalogue of images, a variety of artworks, and detailed listing and captions, online space opens up new avenues of peaceful viewing, analysing and concluding.
She says - “I feel honoured to curate the exhibition of one of my most favourite artists, Milind Mulick. Over the years, visiting his studio, painting with him and watching him paint expressionist landscapes was like being purely overjoyed by the magic of abstract unfolding to you! We all have loved his beautiful landscapes over the years, but in this exhibition - Linear Unparalleled Experience he subtly sweeps us into his world with the stylized non objective paintings and takes us through his cognitive processes of art that delete particular demarcations between abstract and realistic.”
The digital and the physical exhibition is a mesmerizing oeuvre, a testimony to release the ‘mess that white canvas beholds’ as affirmed by the artist Milind Mullick. Milind holds four-decade-long experiences, revelations, and aesthetic knowledge, through spontaneous yet systematic and charged brushstrokes that unveil a collage of many everyday images. The exhibition marks decodes and portrays life not as it is but as it could be seen through the eyes of the artist. He says, “These are collages of a lot of images. Whether I am walking or driving on a street, I see a lot of things like people, objects, places, etc. And there are exciting, disturbing and beautiful events and stuff that we observe on a daily basis. These all come together as visual pollution to us. And, I try to find a visual pattern in these. Also, I attempt to create a collage of these visual experiences, which become a cityscape. For me, these are like abstract collages.”
Art Vindow focuses on putting young and vibrant artists under the spotlight. The founder, Vinita Mansingka felt that the existing contemporary art galleries were not enough. She believed that due to a lack of organised representation and platforms devoted to Contemporary art, precious artworks were getting neglected. By initiating transparency to the art collecting experience, and by being the bridge between art collectors and artists, Art Vindow provides a platform for artists and art collectors to explore art together. The dedicated team at Art Vindow carefully assesses the quality, nature and potential of numerous award-winning artists before enlisting their work on the online art gallery. Art Vindow brings Contemporary Art to the fore and exhibits the work of artists who need their due recognition.
Focussing on a customer’s vision, preference, requirement, budget etc, Vinita is launching her gallery in October 2021 with a solo exhibition. Vinita Mansingka’s Art Vindow personally guides a customer towards artwork that best resonates with their ideas. Every piece of art sold by Art Vindow comes along with a certificate of authenticity.
