A dream

A NEW and unusual art exhibition will brighten up the new year in Bangalore. Vasudev's "Tapestries" is on view for the first time at the Sakshi Gallery (January 6-20).

Vasudev has been working on these tapestries for over seven years, together with master weaver Subbarayulu. The works represent the culmination of the artist's vision and the craftsman's skill.

Tapestry is a new medium for Vasudev but it is not the first time he has ventured into a medium other than oils on canvas and ink on paper. Over the years he has worked extensively with copper relief. He has also executed a number of murals using different media.

As he says, "It is possible for an artist to work in varied media and adapt to the different approach and treatment required for each. I always explore possibilities that challenge my creative abilities."
