VAARSO by Vipul Prajapati

" Vaarso "


At the recent timesfest 2020 @ Amdavad ni Gufa, Vipul Prajapati’s artwork titled VAARSO was on display. He is the recipient of National Award and the Pollock and Krasner Foundation Grant. 

Vipul is a techno freak artist who loves exploring and working with varied materials and his inquisite nature reflects in his work. His love for graphite is evidently visible in his work. He understands the dynamics of the materials and accordingly brilliantly incorporates them in his work. Here Vipul has created a walled background representing real amdavad as the walled city. He has used the image of one of the oldest building, the Premabhai hall, as it associates with his stroke of brush with this place. Vipul has made a huge brush that ironically talks about development that is happening all around at the cost of our heritage. 
His work is representational in nature at the same time urging us to be little more sensitive and sensible of what we are up to. Here VAARSO means heritage and heritage is not just what we live with but what lives within each one of us as well. 
The memories that somewhere we all carry of places and people within us is also in a way heritage. For him the value of the city and its heritage- the real VAARSO is much more than only the art culture and architecture of a city.

Gujarati Film "Roll No 56" by Bhavin Trivedi ,tastes its first success

A vision that has given a new breathing space to the Gujarati Cinema. The art of cinema long forgotten is now in safe hands with young Directors like Mr. Bhavin Trivedi, who took the risk that was much required. Today when so many Gujarati films are being made and the entire senario seems to be changing for good, at times it gets difficult for filmmakers to stay true towards the art of film making. Amidst this Director Bhavin Trivedi and the Producers of 99films, a production house in Gujarat took a huge risk by coming up with their first art film "Roll No 56". This film is based on one of the sensitive child issue of our country. Intention being to leave the audience pondering as to why this happens. This film is made considering the world cinema and is being sent at various National and International Film Festivals. The very first international festival it went for was the 4th Indian Cine Film Festival 2016 which was inaugurated on the 18th September 2016 at Mumbai. It was

ART IS A JOURNEY

    Ronak Sopariwala  "Red means Freedom and Women want Red" , Acrylic on Canvas , 24"x 36 " "The Pyre" , Watercolour on Acid free paper, 18"x 24"  Creativity is all about taking risk be it any form of art. It is an endless journey that does not have a destination. It is a continous urge within which keeps on going that enables an artist to keep on exploring and experimenting with forms, ideas ,materials and much more. It is a language of expressing ones own views through any form of art .   This completely signifies the thought process of Ronak Sopariwala, a visual artist from Ahmedabad. Ronak strongly believes that art is created by an artist and also killed by an artist. Though this seems to be a contradicting statement but it surly emphasis on the process by which any artist works, at times facing conflicts between being creative or being professional or for that matter finding a way out in between, as this ultimately depends on an indiviadua

"Roll No 56 " - who is Responsible? Family or School ?  An art movie written and directed by Mr Bhavin Trivedi, a young passionate director from Rajkot is truly a must watch. Bhavin studied filmmaking from Banglore and has always believed in the art of Cinema. He looks at it as a medium  of art through which he can bring out the real form of art to the audience in the most subtle way. He believes in being different and thinks out of the box breaking all the conventional ways and being highly creative, as he thinks that True cinema is all about taking risk.    Roll no 56 is about an 11 year old boy, his emotional and mental condition.. It basically addresses an issue which has never been noticed due to various reasons. According to the statistics every year approximately 7 lakh children go missing which is a huge concern. Bhavin has always been deeply concerned about it and had been working on it since past 10 years.   Bhavin says, Real and True Cinema has a language of its ow
