Lisa Ray Instagram – Glimpses at the tail end of an art daze. Art month in #HongKong culminates with @artbasel Sharing a few vignettes. From making friends with the excellent Prateek and Priyanka Raja behind India’s most avant garde gallery @experimenterkol (thanks @goodfood65 as always for the Kolkata connection) to meeting artist @vishwashroff @tarqmumbai and taking in the striking @waswoxwaswo and #ManjunathKamat pieces @galleryespace, the offerings from India this year resonated strongly with me. Managed to squeeze in some intimate conversation with a #JeffKoons lobster- which dad spotted with an exclamation of ‘look- chingri macch!’ Other highlights (my wishlist) haunting and exquisite cloud work – pigment on mylar- by @ali.kazim.ak @jhavericontemporary ; @shireengandhy shared her passion for pathos filled, delicate portraits by an artist I’ve been following @varunika.saraf @chemouldprescottroad and @naturemorte_delhi aching for a work from #GauriGill Acts of Appearance series. Special mention to the conceptual pieces on form and entropy by #PorsandRao @galleryske And being hosted by @seanito73 set the convivial tone for the entire fair for me. Lovely to have a co-conspirator whom one can whisper with. Thank you my dear @sujstyle for connecting- hope you make it here next year. Art Basel 2018
