Perspectives of art on materials captured in frame

1. Architecture carved on wood, placed on canvas
Deepa Varan an artist and architect amalgamates both her skills; places of historical importance especially architectural remains have been carved on wood and painted. On plyboard she has drawn, painted and cut those pieces herself. The Toran especially with jigsaw machine was quite a task of patience and precision. She has captured Restoration and it's depth. In another series print and drawing both have been merged to give depth to the paintings  made on basis of perpectives she has captured. Key highlight of her works is Sarnath remains.




2. Dogmas... Dogs evolving and humans..?
Ajay Dhapa: in his metal sculpted works made in black only; has compared dog with human forms . It signifies the job nowadays human beings do is similar to a dogs character. He has love for dogs therefore has observed them carefully thus was able to corelate dogs with human. He came to a conclusion that a dog is actually better than today's human.



3. Shikha  Chavda, another artist who hails from Jamnagar has displayed her steel works. Birds  etched on ss plates is a rare kind of work one usually witnesses in such exhibitions. She jas crafted them from an  Electo tool which is used to write our names on utensils. It's a challenging task to give form to beautifully shaded avians as the tool vibrates a lot. The most appaluaded work has been a life sized 7 ft by 5 ft,  the largest  size of paintings she has made.

Dushyant Patel, Gulab Kapadiya, Himanshu Jamod, Rajesh Ahlawat are four other artists in a group ART SHOW titled ANTHOLOGY ON THE ANNEXE. Their works are on display at The Gallery, Amdavad ni Gufa from 3rd to 8th of January 2017.

Its not just Oil and Gold, a New world economy, booming and buzzing, attracting all global markets to buy home, setup business and live in a place which is now the new Centre of attraction, to setup Global Headquarters. The Millenial tower - Burj Al Arab  Indians have forgotten Canada and US (seems so..) especially after the setting up new Trump norms... so where do all heads turn and why? 1. Distance : Travel time from Delhi to Dubai is 3.5 hours and if we talk about Gujarat, Punjab, Kerala and Maharashtra they are geographically more towards the west, therefore the travel time to The Emirates is even lesser than any other Indian town on the extreme corner. Therefore, Dubai travel is cost effective and easily accessible. 2.

For goods and commodities its good, but in the era of shifting sands, preferences, fast evolutionary changes, the need and demand for more excitement the malls, unlike old markets, have a very short life span. A decade is quite long, then they slowly organically fade out. Ahmedabad, unlike the metros is quick silver. The life span of malls is shorter than those in metros.. few which have swept off infront of our eyes in two decades are; Gulmohar, Fun Republic, Gallops etc. Gallops though with best brands, infrastructure couldn't survive the cost concious market. Two days ago I happened to step into Iscon mega Mall, Mega like the word suggests, its gigantic. Reliance hyper market was inaugurated on 15th August 2006 by Sh Mukesh Ambani, it was his big bang entry into retail segment. In this mega structure, today hardly 10% area is functional, rest is all unused.  If Westside and Reliance are functional...
