Rarely you’d come across a Punekar who would not know about the creators of our most beloved character, Chintoo! Two fantastic artists Late Prabhakar Wadekar & Charuhas Pandit gave birth to this character that lived decades. But why are we talking about all this when we promised to tell you about a hidden art gallery? Well, this hidden gallery we are about to tell you is by the same artist, Mr. Charuhas Pandit!
Started in Shaniwar Peth in 2007, Srujan Art Gallery has the most unique and most stunning works of art we have come across. Natural wood is cut with a razor beam to create intricate pieces, the wood retains its natural color and no artificial color is applied. This technique is called ‘Creative Wood Art’ and it has found a global appeal given the stature Mr. Pandit has as an artist. This art has even reached the Prime minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi!
The gallery is state of the art featuring unique architecture, soothing lighting and a very comforting experience for the visitors. Even though it is 15 years old, it features a modern outlook and is extremely well maintained. It is so surprising that most Punekars are not aware of this true hidden gem featuring the artworks of a gem of an artist!
This artwork involves using wood pieces in their natural colors and textures, delicately cutting with laser beams and creating the best composition and presenting it in the required theme. The themes you’d come across at Srujan art gallery are Wildlife, Monuments, Deities, famous Personalities, Flowers, and many more! You can easily spend a day admiring these beauties inside this gem of a place!
The gallery also features a well-stocked store that sells this art in various forms and sizes. It is up for grabs and they make for excellent gifting options. Architects, interior designers, graphic designers, painters and all kinds of artists, and not to forget the art-lovers; all must visit Srujan Art Gallery in Shaniwar Peth, Pune.
