On Tuesday June 5, 2018 Joseph Gallivan interviews Bob Koch of Augen Gallery about Indian painter Ajay Garg. He talks about the deaf and mute painter’s international success in painting in the style of the mogul empire. Garg lives in Jaipur in northwest India and makes all his own paints and brushes, and paints in a detailed style that requires a magnifying glass.
