Invite : ShuruArt at Artist's Lounge, Ahmedabad

Sunday, August 21, 2011

Artist Visit :Thomas Louis- works in Ceramic and Glass.

 A graduate from the prestigious institute in the country,National Institute of Design : Ceramic and Glass Design.
 This is Mr. Thomas Louis. The artist
Specialising in ceramic and glass.
At the Artist Lounge and shared his work.
He has worked in Banglore, Pune and now in Versova, Mumbai.
He has Exhibited his works in many galleries.
Presently runs a studio and company by the name "Monkey Bussiness"
along with a friend, Bhagyashree Patwardhan fondly known as Pattu 



The work for itself speaks tons about the artist, no doubt his open conversation about ordeals, flip flops and the journey so far is definitely inspiration to any new aspirant in the field of art and design.
His perseverence and consistancy towards acheiving levels have been a driving force and kept him on to strive for more deftness, more richness etc.
His work is the reflection of his hardwork and dedication. His shifting from one city to other also show his adventurous side and passion towards work. 

Break time! 

Here we could see our friends from the animation deptartment, founders of Girgit Company that started just a year and half ago who are extremely talented, making interesting animation work and already going places.
Also the noticable things is, both have given few essential tips and ideas to the new entrepreneurs sitting in the presentation.
 Post the tea break it was more an interactive session. We got a deeper understanding of works done by Thomas as well as technicalities explained by the artist helped many of us appreciate the medium of ceramic and glass, more so for those who had no experience with the medium.

These conversations and experiences have indeed enriched us by far and in depth the nuances of ceramic and glass art.

Arnab Sikdar: our crazy Graffiti Artist and Animator.


He is an Animator by profession.
And his work is the first to adorn our place.
 We were happy to see our new place : The Artist Lounge and see arneb spell his magic on the wall.
Of course he always gathers an audience just like that, which is a visual treat to onlookers anyway.  
He just freed his arms with spraying colours and did an amazing little infant elephant that is still to see this big world.
Look at him ! still not satisfied, wanting to do more, To believe this you have to come see this riot of colors in and around NID, Paldi to see his awesome work shadowing the walls, bus stops, over bridges,and  hideouts etc and of course also at the very famous eatery by fellow Nidians ,Tib-market.
This is his signature style acknowledging his every work, which you will find all around this place, close by NID-Paldi, Ahmedabad, Gujurat, India.

If u want to know more about him plz do email us  and we will help you get connected to Arnab Sikdar.

That's me at my best sharing a few jokes over a wonderful cup of  hot tea and coffee in the rain with dripping water drops that halted our work for a while contributing to this 'break' giving us a chance to get to know each other more closely.



Introducing the artists at Artist Lounge, lets come face to face with them..and catch them in action........

                                                                    Shyam Pahapalkar :
Shyam is always the silent man around but a consistent artist at work all the time...very child unlike his appearance! a nice guy , soft spoken... yes his works speak silently of many things and he's an artist in the true sense of the word. We love having him around.  Shyam has amazing love towards 'Papier-mâché', n does magic with paper ........u'll see his works soon.


                                                                Saheb Ram Tudo:
This is my favorite individual Saheb Ram Tudo, who is in constant pursuit of some or the other art form from writing to drawing and illustrating to painting as well as sculpting.  he has an amazing body of work on display online, it is a visual treat. soon ill publish his links here on the blog.


 
Abhijit Paul: 
 This is Abhijit Paul at work, he's absolutely fun to be with. to tel no show about him open this link.find it for urself, but thats not all wat he is , this is his past bachelors days.now he is a big deal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Eo_s9vl248

Asha Rawat:
...Yes talking about this one..i laugh first then of course have to say that she brings a lot of positive energy. with her it's questions, confusions, fun masti, n lot of overlapping ideas that she keeps shooting randomly all around.....but dont take her lightly!  she is the heavy weight one in terms of work.
work, work n work............work she is in love with . Painting all the time,  she wanted to do a lot of portraits of people but ended up being the favorite model for other artists at Artist Lounge......soon we will post her in all possible avatars penned down by all inhouse artists.wait for it.......

Thats all for this time ... will introduce the others soon n more on these artists  in detail in the future.
