The US based Aicon gallery network has opened this London branch with the aim of introducing the contemporary Indian art scene to Britain. Thanks to the work of galleries like Aicon, Indian artists have begun to find recognition outside their national boarders- indeed, so confident is the gallery of the artists' potential that it runs private equity funds to invest in contemporary material.

Artists' works are informed by a heady blend of prominent social polarities - from the traditional and contemporary to the religious and secular, all aspects of this developing nation are touched upon.

If we haven't placed enough emphasis upon the contemporary nature of the gallery, then heed this warning: traditionalists will not find what they consider to be Indian art. And this is yet another reason to praise the gallery. This is a hugely interesting art space that will appeal to all interested in pushing the boundaries of social convention.
