Art that turns thinking into doing

Artists Rajat Subhra Bandopadhyay, Asia Head Fabriano, in assoviation with In WaterColor along with Anna Massinissa, owner, Fabriano Museum Italy, Master Artist Atul Panase from Dubai, and M Ines from Brazil came up with the idea of a traveling painting exhibition while travelling on a bus in Italy. They believe that one of the major responsibilities of artists is to help people not only get to know and understand something with their minds but also to feel it emotionally and physically. Initially, 80 individual artists from different backgrounds and cultures joined this initiative. Last year, the exhibition took place in Brazil with great success. This year it will be hosted in Ranchi, Jharkand, India. Italy and Dubai will follow in the future years. Government of Jharkand, India, is sponsoring the whole event. They encouraged the organisers to add more artists from different countries of which a list was given to them. From that, they have shortlisted master artists from around the world. From August 22-26, 2018, these artists are coming to India to promote and participate in this event. The participating countries are Italy, Nepal, Albenia, Pakistan, England, China, Tiwan, Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Bulgeria, Bangladesh, Ukraine and Iran. Five artists are participating from Bangladesh.
