Splendid single stone sculptures at a city exhibition

An ongoing exhibition of stone sculptures by Pankaj Gahlot, called Spandan, celebrates the relation between people and nature. All sculptures are carved out of a single stone and have intricate designs. Spandan translates into trembling and pulsating. So the artiste explores the vibrations between people and their surrounding nature. The communication between a human being and elements of nature has become very essential because we live in a concrete jungle and we have to make extra efforts to keep in touch with our real self.Pankaj Gahlot is an art teacher in Umairpur, Rajasthan, "Teaching is my profession but sculpting is my passion," he says. He is very well known for his art of working with black stones and carving sculptures out of a single stone.
The exhibition is ongoing till September 25, between 4 pm and 8 pm at Amdavad Ni Gufa, Opp. Gujarat University.
