Janus Art Gallery

Janus Art Gallery is one of the most active and dynamic art houses located in Kolkata. Since its inception in 1998, it has been earnestly collecting and promoting art and soon carved a niche for itself. Focused on the art of Bengal, Janus Art Gallery has an on growing collection of works by artists with commendable heritage value, renowned modern artists and young contemporaries with a promising future. Consequently, the collection has grown not only in number but more significantly in quality and variety. Hence, along with a substantial collection of Old Masters, Janus is also committed to searching for young talented artists, promoting them in the art field and bringing them the recognition they deserve. This approach led Janus to discover less known gifted artists with great potential to make a mark in the art scenario. Janus Art Gallery’s relentless search for such artists has not only made its own collection valuable but also has drawn attention of the critical viewers and the art loving public of the city at large. As an essential part of the process, Janus also organizes exhibitions all over the country. It is worth mentioning that Janus has participated in Delhi Art Summit, 2008, Art expo Malaysia, Kualalampur, 2009 and sent paintings of upcoming artists to Larasati Auction, Singapore in 2007, 2008 and also to 33 Auction, Singapore in 2011. Sri Kallol Bose, who heads Janus, can be credited with the realization and formation of a well-informed and well-researched foundation for a veritable art collection and promotion in the Indian art scene, setting an example through sheer dedication, persistence and professionalism.
