Book Description

Preface

It is a pleasure and honor for me present a solo show of Mahaveer Swami as one of the first temporary exhibits at MOSA. Mahaveer Swami is a well-known traditional artist from Bikaner in Rajasthan. His unique style will surely captive the viewers who visit the show at MOSA in Radhadesh. He will surely transport them to a time long by and an India full of mystery and spirituality. Curator Sushma K. Bahl gives us an interesting analysis of Mahaveer's art which will allow the viewer to understand better the works of the artist.

India has a lot to offer to the world and its rich and varied art traditions are a good example of that. I hope Europeans will appreciate this richness. MOSA's mission is to show case traditional artists in Europe and help them preserve the traditions they are expertly representing. Mahaveer Swami is one of those artists. In India Tradition and Modernity are in permanent dialogue sometimes in harmony sometimes with tensions. We believe that they can both co-exist and enrich each other.
