 1. Ganpati By Sonal Ambani X Richard Orlinski

Indian sculptor Sonal Ambani and French contemporary artist Richard Orlinski join forces to create a magnificent Ganpati sculpture showcased at ‘Samara Art Gallery,’ Ahmedabad. With a playful neoteric twist, the artists have dipped Ganpati’s head and his trusty mouse companion in bright red resin. The body is crafted using numerous interconnected variations of the chant ‘Om,’ polished in silver metal, creating a unique texture and adding another layer of cultural depth. 

 2. Cosmic Influence By Jayesh Sachdeva

Renowned national award-winning artist, entrepreneur, and multidisciplinary creative, Jayesh Sachdev’s recent sculpture of Lord Ganesha titled ‘Cosmic Confluence’ was on view in a contemporary art exhibition, “Oorja: A Tapestry of Evolving Energy”, at Tao Art Gallery, Worli, Mumbai earlier this year. Sachdev reimagined the deity through an abstract, fluid form that blends tradition with modernity. Crafted meticulously over nine months, the 9-foot sculpture is finished with zesty metallic hues and swirling shapes.
