Art Curator
Simone Naturally Inspired
Bina Aziz curated an exceptional Art Show hosted by Mrs Simone Arora at her elegant Colaba store ‘SIMONE’
Titled ‘THE ART SHOW at SIMONE’, the opening of this exclusive event on 29th September 2023,brought together a select group of art enthusiasts, collectors and influencers for a memorable evening
Simone possesses a distinct and unparalleled sense of style. She is a perfectionist in every aspect and each artifact and piece in her store is one of a kind.When I curated the art for her I had to consider her sensibilities,style and the artists who would seamlessly blend with her unique vision.These artworks were placed in her classic style, in the perfect spaces, harmonising with the colour combinations of her furnishings and artifacts .
The piece de resistance was the beautiful blue M.F. Husain painting painted by the Master in 2005 at the Pundole Art Gallery. Displayed for the first time at SIMONE
Brimming with beauty and inspiration each participating artist expressed themselves brilliantly ,be it in charcoal, acrylic,oil or photography ,using different mediums unveiling their stories on canvas and paperwork in their own inimitable style.
A visual treat to all ,the artworks can be viewed till December 30th 2024, at the store.
“Your Art should not be restricted to Art Galleries but reach the common man of the country “M.F.Husain
