Darshanam
Founded by the Bansal family, who were among the select few brought to Jaipur by Maharaja Jaisingh II during the city's founding in 1727, Darshanam Art is now in its third generation under the management of Abhinav Bansal. Abhinav's grandfather, Radhamohan Bansal, was a celebrated artist whose deep love and dedication to preserving the art form led him to commission numerous paintings and Pichwai, thereby providing livelihoods to many and safeguarding this endangered art.Radhamohan's atelier proudly patronised many extraordinarily talented artists, one such being the National award winner Mahipal Sharma.
His love for fine arts got passed on to his son Vijendra who propogated and treasured the old relations that his father initiated with the artists. He expanded his father's gallery where almost 50 artists work on a daily basis. These artists adhere to the elements of traditional Rajasthani stylisation in technique, concept as well as in terms of material used for execution. They use organic and natural colours to retain the orginal magic and charm for which Rajasthani school of painting is loved throughout the world.
Abhinav Bansal, son of Vijendra Bansal, not only preserves the essence of traditional Indian art forms but also excels in promoting contemporary art and artists at the art gallery he established in Jaipur in 2008. The ICA Art Gallery embodies the third generation of an art-centric lifestyle led by the Bansal family, continuing to celebrate art with renewed passion and enthusiasm.
