Reflecting on the origins of Gallery G and her association with the Raja Ravi Varma Heritage Foundation, Gitanjali says, “I founded Gallery G in 2003 in Bengaluru to create a credible, accessible space for Indian art, one rooted in scholarship, integrity, and storytelling. It’s always been about connecting collectors with works that carry meaning, provenance, and lasting relevance.” She adds, “As managing trustee, I’ve worked to preserve, protect, and present Raja Ravi Varma’s legacy with the authenticity it deserves. This year, the Foundation completes a decade dedicated to research, restoration, education, and landmark exhibitions. Gallery G has supported the Foundation from the beginning, helping reframe the narrative around Ravi Varma’s studio works and placing provenance at the heart of the collecting journey.”
When asked about her personal favourites, her response is swift, “Raja Ravi Varma, always. His blend of Western technique with Indian themes is timeless. Among moderns, I deeply admire MF Husain and KCS Paniker — both bold and visionary in their own ways. As for mediums, it’s oil on canvas. It holds history, texture, and depth; a timeless medium that breathes with the artist’s intent.”
With On the Go, Gallery G is not only showcasing exceptional works but also reimagining the way art is viewed, experienced, and collected. “We’re working on curations that blend traditional formats with contemporary and digital languages: rethinking how art can be seen, felt, and lived,” Gitanjali notes.
