About Us

Sanchit Art is a leading gallery dedicated to Modern and Contemporary Indian Art, representing some of India’s most celebrated artists whose practices have shaped the country’s artistic history and global cultural presence. The gallery works with significant modern masters and senior contemporary artists, creating a platform that brings important artistic voices to collectors, institutions, and audiences worldwide.

Among the defining figures represented within this larger narrative are artists such as Maqbool Fida Husain and Syed Haider Raza, two of the most influential names in Modern Indian Art. Husain, often regarded as the “Picasso of India,” was celebrated for his bold visual language, dynamic figuration, and pioneering role as a founding member of the Progressive Artists’ Group. Raza became internationally renowned for his deeply spiritual geometric abstractions, particularly the Bindu, a motif that transformed into one of the most recognizable symbols in Indian contemporary visual culture. Their enduring legacies continue to define the evolution and global recognition of Indian art.

Built around a carefully developed curatorial vision, Sanchit Art represents artists whose careers span decades of artistic practice, critical acclaim, and cultural contribution. The gallery actively contextualizes these practices within the broader history of Indian art, creating deeper engagement with both artistic legacy and evolving contemporary discourse.

Through annual exhibitions and international presentations across Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai, London, and leading global art fairs, Sanchit Art continues to expand conversations around Indian modern and contemporary art. These exhibitions bring together collectors, curators, institutions, and art enthusiasts while reinforcing the gallery’s commitment to presenting historically significant and culturally relevant artistic practices.
