From the curatorial notes to the Art show of August 2010, presented by The Nirula Family Company and The Nirula Family Art Trust:"India Imagined: In the Present" is about our Heroes and the Artists as heroes. "Why are the Artists Heroes? How do they protect what they protect?" "This show is an Exploration. Our Heroes of the Art World have come together to give a New Imagining to the Heroes of our Heritage. The Artists have achieved this through marrying their aesthetic style to a person, a symbol, and communicate their interpretation of a 'traditional' idea of the Hero within the cultural and historical context of present day India. "Nalin K Nirula is a protector of the idea, the concept, which is so very pure, so direct that it overshadows technique and style. It is lyrical in its quality where the melody is unnecessary as the informaton in the message penetrates through our hazy minds. Nalin reaches into deep ancestral memories of the human Diaspora and its origins. He examines the inner and external universes, unfolding the essential harmonizing messages of both."
