Beach House Art

What happens when you bring 17 artists together on a beach house? Ideas run riot.

What happens when you bring 17 artists together on a beach house? Ideas run riot. Cobwebs and 3-D movies were among the mélange of creativity let loose at the RPG Art Camp, held between 30 November and 6 December, at Marve beach in Mumbai. Some of the finest national and international artists participated. There was Anjolie Ela Menon, whose painting featured a Koli (Maharashtrian fisherfolk) family. International artist Janet Treloar captured the morning in colours. Sculptor Nick Hornby used technology to make a rivetting 3-D movie on the dimensions that an artist’s mind can create. There were also young artists. Charmi Gada Shah used cobweb-like designs to show the entanglements of life that we spend a lifetime unraveling. Veterans passed on ideas to budding artists. Paresh Maity gave tips on the moods of the sea and how to capture them. The camp was conceptualised by Harsh Goenka, Chairman, RPG Enterprises, and Vickram Sethi of the Institute of Contemporary Indian Art.
