Gallery
7 and The Turkish Consulate's photography exhibition by the grandson of
the legendary M. F. Husain, Salamat Husain was one glitzy affair!
Titled as 25 Kilos and showcasing on a balmy Thursday evening, 5th June, 2014 at Gallery 7, Kala Ghoda, this art do was attended by the who's who of Mumbai!
Speaking
on his first solo show, the charming and very cute Salamat affirmed
that “My first recollection of an image was in the arms of my mother and
father which then grew to a collection of snapshots of cities, school,
holidays and further education to my final college "Artistic
Photography”. The montage of my journey linked the greatest cities of
the world, Mumbai, Dubai, London, New York, Singapore, Turkey to deliver
my talent to you.”
Celebs present were Nicholai
Sachdev, Chandra Sachdev, Brinda Miller, Prabhakar Kolte, Kalpana
Gandhi, Nisha Jamval, Bharat Dabolkar, Aswin Gidwani, Reshma Bombaywala,
Rouble Nagi, Manju Bhende, Sarli Doshi, Farid Currim, Rashmi Uday
Singh, Dalip Tahil, Bina Aziz, Turkish Consol General Ceylan Orisen,

and many many more! The Turkish Consol General Ceylan Orisen was
beaming with joy at the images of her beautiful home country captured
with such sensitivity and finesse.
All
in all, an Indo-Turk association which we all can speak of for years to
come! Kudos to you Salamat, carry forward the Husain Legacy!
