My Bed of Roses - Art Exhibition by Balbir Krishan. Guest of honour Ganesh Nallari Supported by Shreedevi Chodary & Swathi Sanghi.

“Beauty and love pass, I know... Oh, there's sadness, too. I suppose all great happiness is a little sad. Beauty means the scent of roses and then the death of roses-.” ? F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise

''My Bed of Roses maps Balbir Krishan’s artistic journey since 2010. This exhibition showcases some precious fragments from his prior body of work, and offers glimpses towards the direction the artist is taking in the future. Balbir is one of the few voices from within contemporary art that dwells on the male body; universalising it, personalizing it...painting a form that contains both the grim realities and exalted fantasies of masculinity...a meeting place for utopia and dystopia.'' - Rahul Bhattacharya

Queer art is still quite far away from becoming a part of the Indian mainstream, although the landscape is changing rapidly and a lot of good things are happening. There are shows based on Queer art. Magazines are writing about it. There are debates and discussions happening.

He is Queer, he is daring, and he is freaking talented! Meet our very known and famous artist, Balbir Krishan. This is his first solo show in Hyderabad.
