  • ABOUT Haku Shah

    Recipient of the prestigious Padma Shri award in 1989, Jawaharlal Nehru Fellowship and the Kala Ratna, Haku Shah is a prominent Indian artist from the Baroda School of Art, who has significantly contributed towards promoting folk and tribal art themes in Indian art. His paintings often illustrate the seeming simplicities of village life, set against the backdrop of a mythical landscape. Apart from being a figurative painter, Haku Shah is also a teacher, anthropologist and reputed author.

    Born in 1934 in Valod, Surat district, Gujarat, the artist had a passion towards painting, music, poetry and drama since early childhood. He completed his graduate degree of Fine Arts (BFA) and master's degree of Fine Arts (MFA) from M.S. University, Baroda.

    Often referred to as a global artist with a rural touch, Haku Shah draws great inspiration from tribal art and culture as well as the prevailing social and spiritual environment. Though his art appears simple, it is deeply layered, unveiling several complexities and dichotomies between the past and the present, folk tradition and urban practices, as well as storytelling and philosophy.

  • ABOUT Limited Edition Prints

    Limited Edition Prints are a series of identical prints of an artwork, commissioned by the artist. Restricted to a one-time printing of a certain number of pieces, each print is numbered and signed by the artist, establishing its’ authenticity.

    Because the number of prints is limited, signed prints of acclaimed artists hold value, and can be investment-worthy, just like original works of art. Christie’s and Sotheby’s – the world’s two most renowned auction houses – hold auctions exclusively for prints. A Pablo Picasso print sold for US$1.7 million in 2010!

    There are different techniques in printmaking, including offset printing, digital printing, giclée, lithography and serigraphy. Serigraphy, or silk screen printing is considered one of the most sophisticated techniques. In this process, thick, opaque colours are passed through the screen, creating prints with vibrant colours and beautiful textures, that make the artwork look like a painting.

    Works by any artist are limited, and prints are a fantastic way for acclaimed artists, to make their art available to a larger number of people. This makes limited edition prints popular amongst new art buyers as well as seasoned art collectors.
