Actors Simran Kaur and Sunny Gill drop in to Vitrefusion

Dec. 17, 2011 - PRLog -- 80 works of art by 8 artistes including the internationally renowned Vipta Kapadia and Gunjan Cowlagi, the revivalist pioneer of 'Vitrefusion' art form Veenu Shah, and two gorgeous actors....a lovely evening.
Actors Simran Kaur and Sunny Gill were pleasantly surprised at the collection on display.

As conventional definitions of art continue to be defied; its no longer oil on canvas or acrylic on canvas that engages the mind. Newer mediums; methods processes are all over the place and Gunjan Cowlagi is at the forefront of all the action. She has exhibited across the world; refined her craft and presents a reinvented form of art called 'vitrefusion'- molten glass on copper and steel; which is then worked upon with acrylic. Time consuming; but breathtaking!
She says, "this technique was prevalent in the Mohenjodaro and Harappa civilization but was used in jewellery."

Bringing this technique to art was a challenge taken up by these 8 artistes. Gunjan Cowlagi, who has organized the show, wears another hat as a successful jewellery designer and was inspired to bring this technique to art. A unique twist to vitrefusion has been given by Kana Lomror, a young trained fine artiste who has experimented with a new technique that combines the metal on canvas to create dimension. He also has shown further experimentations on 3D art forms.

Art gallery owner Gautam Patole admired the paintings and discussed the subtle differences between enamelling and vitrefusion and Devyani Parekh admired the works as well.
CA Triveni Mahajan, veteran artiste Veenu Shah, Jyotsna Singh, a trained potter, Ritu Sangal and Anindita Kishore were the other artistes who displayed their work at the show.
