A rare blend
January 28 – January 31, 2011
The exhibition was inaugurated by Justice MMS Bedi from the Punjab & Haryana High Court.

Artscapes successfully united artists from different geographical, economical and ethnical backgrounds. The exhibition was a mix of paintings, digital prints, sculptures and photographs. The works were a mélange of figuration and abstractionism; display of sensational colour schemes and exquisite order of formal elements, which made for a unique visual feast. Artists such as Bheem Malhotra, Mahesh Prajapati, Rakesh Bani, Pooja Iranna and Arunkumar HG displayed their works at the show.

Art Critic
Writers, thinkers and artists are emerging as the new cultural harbingers of the city. Art Scapes takes the lead by gathering the connoisseurs and the investor; the critic and the artist; the teacher and the taught on the common platform. Its an altruistic step, fraught with uncertainties but Art Scapes is ready to face testing times with their debut exhibition starting on the 27th of January.
The exhibition unites the artists coming from different geographical, economical and ethnical backgrounds. The common ground is that all the participants are seeking to present something different from the popular trends. More than a score of artists’ works are at display here and the varied media, figuration and abstractionism, display of sensational color schemes and exquisite order of formal elements make for a unique visual treat.
MESSAGE BY CHIEF GUEST
CHIEF GUEST
Nature has created an affluence of beautiful things around us which appeal to the human mind and touch the human emotions. The entire world is a ‘piece of art’ created by God. Generally considered, Art is a means to express imagination of the mind in different modes. Not only does art arouse the aesthetic feelings but also provides a way for communicating the same. The degree of skill possessed by an artist generally affects his ability to trigger an emotional response and provide new insights. When a person is able to create a work of art which stimulates thoughts and emotions, he becomes an artist. Harmony, balance and rhythm are the default instincts of nature. The imitation of these factors from nature by a person makes him an artist.
