According to senior artist Ashok Gulati, the internet is keeping the mass trade in art alive.

"It is helping artists copy ideas, themes and colours. Artists are more like labourers today working for a mega industry. The internet is taking away creativity from art," said Gulati, who was present at the show.

The internet is even changing the commerce of art as the medium makes a giant leap from offline set-ups - galleries - to virtual e-shops on the internet where buyers can interact directly with the artists and ask all they need to know without the risk of sounding naive or like a rookie.

"We are going to set up a web portal called Indiaartexchange very soon. It will be an one-stop e-shop, not just an online gallery where customers can talk to artists directly about their requirements," Tapuriah said.
