Revisit the splendor of a golden dynasty with artworks inspired by the
Mughal Era, in Sublime Galleria’s latest exhibit. (Free-Pr-Online.com)
Bangalore, India, January 27, 2014 — Kick starting 2014, Sublime
Galleria opens with a peek into the past, showcasing the grandeur of
the Mughal Era through the works of the celebrated new age artist
Vijit Pillai. His latest exhibition is titled Mughal Garden (
http://www.sublimegalleria.
com/events/on-going.html ).
Mughal Garden is a collection of artworks inspired by the characters
and scenes from the classic miniatures. Created in 2013, this
collection pays tribute to Mughal art styles through the use of
colour, floral and stain-glass paintings. Here, Pillai adds a
contemporary twist by using an extraordinary mixture of patterns and
abstract visuals. This compilation adds to the artist’s
characteristic trait and brings out the sheer drama of a time gone
by.
The material used is acrylic paint on canvas with photographs. Pillai
uses his own photographs which transforms through the use of filters,
textures and patterns. Also evident is the sophisticated use of
digital technique, depth and fabric creating a unique visual. These
limited edition canvases come under the ‘Mixed Media Art’ genre.
In this form of art, several materials and methods are combined to
create a greater visual appeal and Pillai has proved to be a
forerunner in it.
Exhibition Dates:
This Neo-Mughal exhibition titled ‘Mughal Garden’ is on from 18th
January to 16th February 2014 at Sublime Galleria, on the 8th floor of
UB City, on Vittal Mallya Road.
