Sublime Art Galleria, founded in 2009 in Bengaluru by Uzma Irfan, has opened its doors in Hyderabad at Prestige Skytech, Financial District, Gachibowli. Located on the first floor in the sprawling office space, the gallery stands out with its high grey ceiling, wooden floor, and ivory-hued wall occasionally punctuated by arched columns that reveal a second, old-world brick wall. Inaugurated recently, the gallery welcomes visitors with Amalgamation, a series of digital artworks by Vijit Pillai that presents both ethnic and contemporary subjects in an art nouveau style.
Amalgamation is a series that the artist began working on towards the end of the pandemic, drawing themes from the past and the present, which seemed standstill, and the uncertain future. The artworks touch upon history, myth, modern cityscapes, literature, and more. From the Mysore Dasara, a Mughal court and Sunflower Ganesh to Ophelia from Shakespeare’s Hamlet and skyscrapers in New York, he reimagines the subjects in a surrealistic style.
