"India Contemporary curated by Veer Hooda" presents a rare opportunity for collectors and art lovers in Europe to acquire original works by highly established Indian contemporary artists, and to connect with one of the most vibrant and fast-growing art markets in the world. India Contemporary is a curated initiative that brings leading Indian contemporary artists directly to European collectors. Each artist is selected personally by Veer Hooda for artistic depth, originality and long-term relevance, and each work is an original, sourced from the artist's own studio and shipped with full documentation. The programme exists because the distance between the Indian studio and the European wall has, until now, been the main thing standing between these artists and the collectors who would want them. India Contemporary closes that distance: no intermediary market, no re-sale mark-up, direct access at an early stage. India's contemporary art scene is in an exceptional moment - dynamic, intellectual, many-voiced, and growing quickly in both global visibility and investment value. With rising interest from international collectors and institutions, this is a compelling time for European collectors to engage with Indian contemporary art at a pivotal stage of its ascent. The works are offered exclusively by auction on Catawiki. The works are curated in Vienna by Vijit Veer Hooda and shipped to you directly from the artist's studio in India. Buyers in the EU enjoy 0% customs duty on original works of art imported from India. About the Artist: Karam Singh Karam Singh lives and works in New Delhi. He is known for deep, texturally rich canvases that explore human emotion, isolation and resilience against the natural elements, and that hold the external world and the internal psychological landscape in the same frame. His signature style blends deep palettes, sweeping palette-knife strokes and intense lighting to catch figures and natural motifs suspended mid-motion. A public artist Singh's artistic philosophy centres on the democratisation of art: taking high-concept gallery work out of the gallery and into sprawling public infrastructure, where it meets everyday commuters rather than collectors. He has worked on it at scale. Working with a team of artists under an initiative of Artists Network India and the Government, he has been commissioned for works in international airports and public places across the country. His largest public commission is a multi-panelled mural housed permanently at Jaipur International Airport. Beyond Jaipur, his larger-than-life canvases and installations are held in prominent institutional lobbies across New Delhi, including corporate headquarters in Cyber City and government-backed cultural centres, and his commission list includes the Home Ministry Office of the Central Government of India and the India Heritage Institute.

About Veer Hooda - ig: @vi_hov Veer Hooda is an Indo-European (Austrian) contemporary artist based in Vienna, whose practice is shaped by a deep connection to his Indian roots and a great love for his now home, Europe. Veer Hooda has exhibited across some of the top galleries and exhibitions in the world and recently finished his sold-out show at Art Basel Miami 2025. This year he will be exhibiting at, among others, the Venice Biennale 2026 and ArtExpo New York 2026, in multiple exhibitions across Europe and Austria, and returning to Art Basel Miami at the end of the year. While his own work reflects a strong conceptual and material sensibility developed over years of creative and professional experience, Hooda is equally driven by a clear mission: to make outstanding Indian artistic talent more visible and accessible within the European art market. Positioned between India and Europe, he acts as a cultural bridge, offering early access to artists and narratives that are already gaining significant international recognition - a distinct insider perspective at a pivotal moment for Indian contemporary art.
