Perhaps due to the diversity and depth of Indian culture, people carry many different images of India. Contemporary art can act as a common language to reveal India beyond the images and to lead us to a greater understanding within. For there is something that transcends the diversity of images, a spirit that is contemporary and a presence that is universal, even in its Indianness. Above all there is a sense of creative adventure that reaches out to something beyond the image, through the image, be it figurative or abstract. This, I feel, is what captivated me- the glimpse of a window in the image, opening to a space beyond. -Masanori Fukuoka, Director, Glenbarra Art Museum
