Shaban Art

Our shop is Shop No 1, located right near the Neelkant Apartment in Ghatkopar West. It’s a small place, honestly, and if we have too much stock it’s hard to move around. Shaban Art is where we do all our work. We deal with art stuff, but it’s more of a practical, daily business than anything fancy. The shop front is small and we have some of our work displayed in the window, though the glass gets dusty pretty fast from the main road. Ghatkopar West is always humming with people going to the station or the market. We have been in this spot for a long time. We know the guy who sells fruit next door and the person at the medical store. It’s a tight-knit little row of shops. We don’t have a big staff, just us working every day from morning until late evening. The ceiling fan wobbles a bit and we have a small radio that we listen to sometimes. It’s not a corporate gallery or anything like that. It’s just a local shop where we put in the hours. We don’t have any big slogans. People come in, they ask for what they need, and we do our best to help them. It’s a plain and simple way to run a business. We like the routine and the familiar faces that come by.
