Chatterjee & Lal Art Gallery

Our gallery is tucked away on Swastik Cross Road in Colaba. It’s a quiet spot compared to the main roads around here. Chatterjee & Lal has been showing different kinds of art for a long time now. We don’t really go for the loud, flashy stuff. Most days it’s just us moving frames around or talking to someone who wandered in from the street. The light inside the gallery changes throughout the day, which makes the walls look different every few hours. Colaba is a strange mix of tourists and people who have lived here forever, and we see a bit of both. We spend a lot of time just arranging things. The floors are old but they have character. We don’t use a lot of big words to talk about what’s on the walls. If you like looking at things, you just come in. Swastik Cross Road can be a bit hard to find if you aren't looking, but that keeps it a bit more peaceful. We have some regular visitors who just come to sit for a bit. It’s not a huge space, but we make it work for whatever we’re showing. Sometimes the air conditioning is a bit too cold, but it’s better than the heat outside. We just stay open and wait for people to see what’s new. It’s a simple way to spend the day. There is no big secret to how we do things, we just like art and we like being here in Colaba at 41292 Swastik Cross.
