Instead of IT, Make it IA

India, renowned for "information techology" (IT) highways and byways, retires into the gentle confines of "intelligent art" (IA), slick, surreal, but contemporary, perhaps not outlandish, and yet far removed from traditional South Asian art styles.

That watercolor sold for over $43,000?? What?

I'd love to sell any painting! So far, I've been commissioned to do portraits, but to have a show and sell fine art pieces would be a dream to me.
