Here's a window for talent

A new art gallery that promises to promote budding talent and different types of art work hits town

MASTER STROKES An artwork on display at Ideal Images
An art gallery as well as a one-stop shop for your frames, Ideal Images is the newest hot spot for art enthusiasts. Located at Ameerpet, the art gallery-cum-shop was inaugurated on Friday last, to art connoisseurs looking for a new place to view and display art. Spread over two shops, one part houses the gallery while the other is used for mounting pictures and paintings and provides customised framing services.
On display at the gallery is a varied mix of art. Some of it is from an art camp of 40 artists held at Tirupati recently, while the rest of the collection includes copies of well-known artists, abstract art done by local talent, electronic and digitalised images and even Egyptian paintings done on papyrus and framed between tow thin sheets of glass — a technique known as binding. Relief work of Ganesha's, palette knife paintings and paintings mounted using NR (non reflective) glass were other works on display.
Samples of the frames are on display and you can ask to see the framing, pining and mounting taking place if it's not a very busy day.
Ideal Images is the pet project of V. Sankar Naidu, a supporter of art himself, who has been instrumental in promoting budding artists and is also responsible for the art camp at Tirupati. The rhinestone studded photos of Lord Venkateshwara stand testimony to his devotion to the place. These photos are available in varied sizes and are priced from Rs. 3000 to Rs. 14000. The pictures are illuminated by an array of lights and have an inbuilt sound system that chants the Suprabhatam and other slokas with one of the pictures playing the Suprabhatam for more than an hour. An excellent addition for the puja room in your house. This place does a neat job of framing and the double mounted paintings and pictures are worth a look. Double mounted paintings have the look of being twice farmed and are a good way to frame that special piece of yours.
