From the temple town of Bhubaneshwar to the University of California, Kanta Kishore Moharana has travelled a long way. His passion for art has helped him go places and discover the world. He owes his success to his father who is a carpenter and his mother who ensured that, come what may, her son did not stray from the pursuit of art as a career. In his late 20s, he can be said to have already arrived. His sculptures, in wood, marble and bronze, depict changes in the contemporary world. “Through my sculptures, I want to draw the attention of the world to issues that otherwise go unnoticed,” he says. The recent India Art Summit saw Delhi’s who’s who falling over one another to buy his works. “My entire stock was sold,” he says with justified pride. He started painting as a hobby, but slowly realised that this was all he wanted to do in life. He went on to do graduation and masters in sculpture from Bhubaneshwar University. From then on, there was no stopping him. So much so that his works that were displayed in the University of California last year received all-round praise.
ASHOK ART Gallery (AAG) is a five-yearold Delhi gallery that largely functions online. A mom-and-pop operation with a handful of unknown artists, AAG has never had any exposure in the media. Their only previous art fair experience was with the Mumbai art expo earlier this year. As one among 35 galleries that participated in the recent India Art Summit (between August 22 and 25), AAG did not expect to become frontpage news. But their 27-year-old Oriya artist Kanta Kishore’s marble sculptures of rolled-up newspapers were sold within hours of the fair’s opening. Gallerists Ashok Nayak and Kavita Vig, Kavita’s husband Bharat and septuagenarian mother-in-law watched astonished as the art world’s superstar Subodh Gupta and politician Maneka Gandhi came to their stall. And in their wake, thousands of visitors and the press
