My case is under the consideration of a committee formed to decide the condonation of lectures. I can take admission in the next semester only after the committee clears my case,” he added.

Young painters show eye for detail Mohali, March 4 The works, most of which are poster colours on paper, reflect an eye for detail on part of the artists. ‘‘Poster colours on paper end up being a very flowy medium and it is tough to give the paintings an oil painting look. But the students here have achieved that,’’ said Ms Rajni, instructor at the Institute. Some of her own works are also being showcased at the exhibition. Some other works are pencil sketches by students created as part of their exercise during classes in the institute. Other than the sketches that have been prepared creatively in black and white, certain other remarkable works at the exhibition have been created using black as the only colour on white paper. ‘‘While in some we have used black poster colour and brush, in others gel pens have been used,’’ explained a student. In a group of over 50 works, the themes chosen by the students are, however, limited — nature, landscapes, still life, Rajasthani life and portraits. Most of the works are impressionist in nature. A few interior decoration items by students can grace the walls of large houses. Among the artists whose works are on display are Vipal, Nutan, Vinny, Gagadeep Singh, Sandeep, Kiran and Shivani. Inaugurated by Mr Ravinder Kumar Sharma, the exhibition is on till March 15. |
