Artix 4.0 shines a light on India's artistic talent in a unique setting
The Sunday Guardian
|August 17, 2025
Artix 4.0 revolutionizes the art fair experience by transforming hotel rooms into intimate galleries, showcasing diverse Indian and international artistic talent in a luxurious, interactive setting.
Art fairs are a great way to simultaneously discover the work of new artists and enhance one's knowledge of art by browsing through masterpieces from senior, established artists. Yet, as most art fairs are spread across vast areas, they can be quite overwhelming.
Art fairs are a great way to simultaneously discover the work of new artists and enhance one's knowledge of art by browsing through masterpieces from senior, established artists. Yet, as most art fairs are spread across vast areas, they can be quite overwhelming. This is the reason for the genesis of Artix, referred to as India's first hotel art fair. Having just completed its fourth edition on August 2 and 3 at The Claridges Hotel, New Delhi, Artix promises the confluence of young, emerging artistic talent with established artists in a backdrop of art meeting luxury.
"Breaking away from traditional presentations, Artix has reimagined the art-viewing experience. Each room at this edition told a distinct story, as it was curated by individual galleries, artists and showrooms to reflect their artistic expression. It offered to take collectors, curators and connoisseurs on a one-of-a-kind journey across diverse artistic mediums and narratives," explain curators Payal Kapoor, Malvika Poddar and Sethu Vaidyanathan, who are also co-founders of the annual event.
In attendance for the traditional lamp-lighting ceremony were dignitaries like the German Ambassador Dr. Philipp Ackermann, former Additional Solicitor General of India Parag Tripathi, renowned artist Bratin Khan and acclaimed author Prayag Shukla. This was followed by a curatorial walkthrough led by Jyoti Kathpalia, offering guests an insider's view into the creative vision and themes behind the curation of Artix 4.0.

EXTERMINATE MOSQUITOES TO ERADICATE EIGHT DEADLY DISEASES
Till now, Iceland, with a harsh, unique climate and geographical isolation, was the only country in the world that was completely free of mosquitoes. Three mosquitoes were found in the Kjos valley in October 2025. Scientists blamed rising temperatures due to climate change and increased travel for these arrivals. Mosquitoes are vectors for deadly diseases like malaria, dengue, chikungunya, Japanese encephalitis, Zika, yellow fever, West Nile virus fever, and filariasis. In 2023, there were an estimated 263 million malaria cases and 597,000 deaths globally. World Malaria Day on 25 April and National Dengue Day on May 16th in India highlight the need for public education, continued investment, and sustained political commitment for prevention and control measures, especially before the monsoon season. ‘Chikungunya' means \"to become contorted,\" (due to severe joint pains) in the Kimakonde language in Tanzania and Mozambique.

WELFARE DELIVERY, MODI FACTOR PROPELLING NDA IN BIHAR POLLS
The Bihar elections opened with opposition parties confident that Nitish Kumar's long incumbency and public fatigue courtesy his 20 years of rule would translate into a difficult contest for the NDA. In the early phase of campaigning, this seemed plausible. The same feeling was also shared by top National Democratic Alliance leaders while interacting with journalists privately, including by two senior BJP Union Ministers, who spoke to this correspondent before and after the poll schedule was announced.
