Bishath Mata Art Gallery

You can find us over at No. 433 on the 4th Main in Nagendra Block. We are right there in Banashankari 1st Stage, which is a fairly busy neighborhood these days. The gallery is more of a passion project that turned into a full-time thing for us. We have all sorts of paintings and art pieces hanging up on the walls. It’s not one of those cold, white-walled galleries you see in the movies. Our place is a bit more lived-in. There are stacks of frames in the corner and maybe a bit of paint on the floor where we were working on something. We spend a lot of our time talking to people who walk in just to look around. Some folks are serious about buying, but others just want to see something nice for a few minutes. We do not mind either way. The light in the afternoons is really good here, it hits the canvases just right. Running a gallery in this block means we get to see the same neighbors every day. It feels like we are part of the local fabric here. We try to keep things simple and not too formal. If a piece of art speaks to someone, that’s enough for us. We spend our mornings cleaning the glass and making sure everything looks okay. It’s a lot of dusting, to be honest. But we enjoy being here in this part of Banashankari.
