FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL ASSOCIATE, IGA
JOINT DIRECTOR, PUNE BIENNALE FOUNDATION CORE COMMITTEE MEMBER, ART MANDAI
Indranil Garai is a cross-disciplinary artist whose concepts are designed to inspire channels of meaningful dialogue and seamless exchange of ideas between art and its major stakeholder - man. He is also an entrepreneur who founded the Indranil Garai and Associates (IGA) in 2009 which is today one of the largest art consultancies in the Country that creates sculptures solely for public spaces. As the face of IGA, Indranil believes that art is a committment that transcends definitions, known parameters and dimensions of space and time to negotiate and result in a deep bond with society.
Under his entrepreneurship, IGA produce art that balance the inadequacies of context, text and format, thereby functioning as a connection between different forms of expressions. Through their philosophy of art socialization, IGA manifests an artistic experience that is consummate and capable of influencing man's life with an immediacy born in his environment.
Over time, Indranil has brought common man and art closer through the different verticals of IGA, namely, IGA Galleria that has been promoting art through shows, events and exhibitions and the IGA Open Studio that focuses on propagating art education through public interaction.
