Design duo add colour to their dream gallery
Their love for art is well known. But it was only last Friday that fashion designer duo
 Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna launched their dream project, Palette Art Gallery in New Delhi ; Golf Links. “Finally it's here,” said an excited Gandhi. “Art has been a passion for me – I've been collecting paintings for the last 10 years,” he says.
The exhibition, titled Red, on view till March 6, features young artists Anju Dodiya, Anjum Singh, Chintan Upadhyay, Ravi Kashi and Rekha Rodwittiya among others.“It's an atte-mpt to be serious about art. I feel Mumbai appreciates more of serious art than Delhi where it tends to be more on the decorative side,” points out Gandhi. The wh ole purpose behind the gallery is to promote young artists, he adds.
Lending moral support was the designer duo's fri-end, Ruheen Jaiswal, a good friend of Bollywood actor Fardeen Khan. An art lover, she said: “The two are good friends. Though I haven't bought any painting, Rohit has commissioned an artist to do one for me.”
Other good friends, who turned up to congratulate them included Vijay Arora, who's planning to showcase traditional chikankari work teamed with Chinese embroidery during the Indian Fashion Week, J J Valaya, Tarun Tahiliani, Nitin Bha-yana, Anupam Poddar, Ranna Gill, Satish Gujral, Jatin Das, Shamshad Husain and Manu Parekh.
