NEW DELHI, November 2, 2015
Pop goes the easel
Latest offering by Bruno Art Group features Israeli, American pop artists
Israel-based Bruno Art Group, that has now expanded to other locations as well, is famous for bringing to the city exhibitions that are a riot of colours and showcase unconventional techniques and artists who work with mediums that are not often seen in Delhi’s art galleries.
Their latest offering, that showcases works by Israeli pop artist David Gerstein and American pop artist Charles Fazzino at India Habitat Centre’s Visual Arts Gallery, is everything one would expect from the type of shows the group has become famous for. This is the first-time collaboration between the group and the two artists, who are renowned world-over for their three-dimensional pop art.
Over 30 works are on display at the exhibition, titled “1+1=3”, that is on till November 3.
While David brings more of his lazer-cut metal works, where cut-outs come together to create multiple layers, Charles has on display detailed and vibrant three dimensional découpage works.

David has on display his newly-released “Coexistence” and “Lovely Day”, as well as his iconic “Infinity Tour”, “Peloton Wave” and “5th Avenue” at the show. The exhibit also boasts of two commissioned pieces done especially for the show.
These will give visitors a more detailed look into the world of the artist, who previously showcased in Delhi in May last year.
The beauty of Charles’s works lies in the details. He has recreated the skylines of many iconic cities and added to his works places and text that are synonymous with the city.
Many of the works are based on Manhattan and those who have visited New York will find themselves searching for familiar sights that are incorporated in his frame. He has paid tribute to India as well with works like “The Colors of the Taj Mahal” and “The Splendour of Bollywood”.
The works force you to take a closer look as he has managed to incorporate so many tiny elements that come together to tell a story of a place.
Bruno Art Group CEO and owner, and exhibit curator Motti Abramovitz said he was honoured to bring another international show to India and to witness how the colourful and vibrant styles of two of the world’s greatest pop artists blend and fit together naturally.
