Sakti B. at Aicon Gallery London

It was interesting meeting and speaking with contemporary Indian artist Sakti B. at the Aicon Gallery London during a private viewing of his work. He’s energetic, friendly and disarmingly honest. I was stunned when he told me that he was inspired by the French Impressionists whose style he began to emulate in his art back in the late ’50s while living in Paris. As an Indian American living in London, I’m always amazed at see how long established and well developed the South-Asian culture scene is here in contrast to New York.
