Mr Devin Gawarvala
The Gallerist & India’s young Collector!
Trained as an engineer in USA, the Founder and Director of Bespoke Art Gallery Devin Gawarvala grew up in a home filled with art. His father Samir Gawarvala CEO of Rubber King ( tyre manufacturers ) conceived a revolutionary idea of visiting museums and looking at art while visiting countries abroad on work and expansion of the Rubber King market. As he searched around for art centered around visual content he started buying art for his home.
Devin Gawarvala grew up in this home filled with Indian and international art. While training in America he too started visiting artist studios and expanded his trips to far flung places such as Ukraine and Uzbekistan, London and New York and Australia and Spain.
Collector and gallery founder Devin Elaborates:
“Bespoke for me is a progressive gallery that wants to create a graph and place for artists in the wide web of art collecting. I wanted to create a playing field of masters from all over the world which Indians can also relate to and understand. Gillie & Marc were one of the first artists I invested in. I started putting together shows before I opened the Bespoke Gallery. Here I was a young guy trying to understand the art world for what it is. I’d confess it takes a lot for a young guy to begin with art but
for me since this was my family’s legacy I felt the need to take it up as a dutiful son .I felt whenever you are dealing with art and you are trying to enlighten yourself you know that art is long and life is short. It’s deep and diverse and a single lifetime is not enough to understand it to the depth you want.”
