“I think of I HOPE TO MATCH YOUR FURNITURE as my attempt to bring together disparate strands of thought. My aim is to design a détente between the distinct and perhaps even discordant threads of fine art and rap, Indian and Western aesthetic sensibilities. The white cube of the gallery space is often perceived as cold and unwelcoming while rap music is often thought to be a lower art form, emerging as it did from the streets. The heart of my show will be a rap performance at the opening to set the tone for the exhibition. While the messaging is not overtly political, it is, in a sense disruptive, disturbing the current status quo and presenting a viewpoint that is, I hope subtle but also catalyzing for an audience that would not traditionally consume the kind of art and the kind of performance I am presenting to them.” said Sumit about his ongoing show.

His freestyle rap which was presented to the audience with his beautiful larger than life canvases as the backdrop left people speechless.
“Sumit’s show was a perfect blend of the sound of his music which translated into his art. His show is a perfect example of how music and art can come together to create a new and more coherent art form” Srishti Das, Business Analyst and Content Specialist, Loudest.in[caption id="attachment_3402" align="alignnone" width="960"] ‘I HOPE TO MATCH YOUR FURNITURE’[/caption] For more of Roy’s music & art, follow him on: Youtube Website
