Art Walk at the Palace

Your art journey with us begins right at the lobby where you can admire ‘Basant’ – Surendra Pal Joshi’s very own creation inspired by the spring season. If you are a lover of existential art, ‘Life Circles’ by Madan Meema expresses the cyclic nature of life and explores the concept of eventual death, since ‘everything that lives must die.’

From the women-themed ‘Padmabati’ by Jayshree Burman, to ‘Acrobat’ by Satish Gujral near the Library Bar, the Palace is almost like an art gallery and certainly the place to be for art enthusiasts. But one thing is for sure, whether you are an avid lover of art or just a curious passer-by, the art walk at The Leela Palace Chennai is sure to be an attention-grabbing experience.
