It has been a privilege for me to have been the lead curator of Satrang gallery since its inception and work with extraordinary artists and exceptional colleagues with whom we have built strong relationships. We have always focused on cutting edge, dynamic and quirky art with strong conceptual backing and artistic training.

I am proud that each of the artists in this exhibition has risen to the challenge and created a unique piece especially for our anniversary exhibition.
