The image of Ganesha needs no introduction as the icon surpasses all possible cultural boundaries across nations and creative genres. In the same spirit, every participating artist of this blockbuster exhibition re-examines this indubitably-popular concept, to create contemporary artworks that do justice to the distinctive physical and metaphysical versatility that it effortlessly offers. The exhibition is indeed international and multiracial as it features aesthetic narratives of Ganesha by senior and emerging artists from Singapore (of Chinese as well as Indian origins), Malaysia, France, Sweden, Palestine, Taiwan, China, India and Sri Lanka. The participating artists are G. Subramanian, Sun I-Yu, Gnana Dickam, Joyotee Ray Chaudhury, Rasha Eleyan, Dr S. Chanthiran, Jk Dass, Gloria Keh, Ika Forssell, Odile Moulin, Sonali Mohanty, Shyama Nadimpalli, Kalpana Yuvarraaj, Raja Segar, Sheikh Hifzul, Richard Chen, S. Elayaraja, Sivabalan Balan and Selva Raja. It was in 2003 that Gnani Arts launched this tremendously-successful series of exhibitions showcasing modern and contemporary art of Ganesha (followed by exhibitions in 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2010). Now, The Global Icon: Ganesha in Fine Art, will be the 6th in the series. The significant sixth indeed. The artists are presently enjoying their creative processes; as they form splendid artworks, specifically for the exhibition. The collection will be featured on-line closer to the exhibition. Warmest Wishes, Vidhya Gnana Gouresan Curator of The Global Icon: Ganesha in Fine Art 14-20 May, ION Art Gallery gnaniarts
