- 1. Mughal Garden, a Collection of Neo-Mughal Artworks by Vijit
Pillai at Sublime Galleria Revisit the splendor of a golden dynasty
with artworks inspired by the Mughal Era, in Sublime Gallerias
latest exhibit. 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. 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 artists
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. About the Artist: Vijit Pillai took to the arts early in
life, being encouraged by his artist mother. He trained under
eminent art teacher Rathin Mitra and won his first few accolades
while in school. Having been exposed to contemporary and modern art
works from an early age, Pillai began to explore his own style with
confidence while working in advertising. His added interest in
photography led to the realm of New Media and Mixed Media Art. Over
the years, Vijit Pillai has been a part of several art auctions and
exhibitions across the country and has been featured alongside
legends such as MF Hussain and FN Souza. As a well recognized
artist and pioneer in New Media and Digital Art, he has sold over
