RENDEZVOUS WITH MARLYN

After reigning Hollywood, Marilyn Monroe is in town in the
form of beautiful portraits
Mosaic artworks of Marilyn Monroe, an actress, singer and model,
who took Hollywood by storm with her ravishing looks and
unpredictable charm are being showcased at Q House.

Marilyns date with the Hyderabad city went fairly well despite in
arriving at the event in time.

SICIS the Art Mosaic factory and Q Team have jointly brought the
Marilyn Monroe mosaic art road show to Hyderabad. But, the art works
reached way beyond the scheduled time. Showcased at Q House, the
show has three art pieces of the Hollywood bombshell, including a
three dimension floor-to-ceiling mosaic sculpture of Marilyn Monroe.

It has only been viewed once in public, at the Cersaie Fair in Italy in
late September 2010.

Handicrafts fashion show

The handicrafts Accessories Fashion show held in the city recently,
overturned the stereo type that handicraft items cannot make fashion
statements. Models showcased various fashion garments created by
craftsman and artisans from across the country. Oohs and aahs greeted
every item that was displayed embroidered sarees, beaded necklaces,
metallic bangles, bags and sandals. What grabbed the maximum
eyeballs was a beaded yellow umbrella.
Bengali creativity
Shrishti Art Gallery recently hosted an art show curetted by Anais and
Abhishek Basu of Calcutta Arts Club. Showcasing five talented young
artists from Bengal, the exhibition offered a range in styles and ideas as
each of the artists showcased distinct flavors. While pradeep das
yellows and reds in the painting grabbed attention, subir Deys
contemporary portraits set people thinking.

Real or just a dream

The Samahaara Theatre Groups English play, Dominic Wesley,
staged at la makaan on Saturday evening, started off with Dominic
dreaming about his robot Wesley and him asking two separate
questions, one about dreams and the other about reality. Through the
two characters and their conversations, the play explores the rationalist
and creative sides to a persona and how these determine choices.
Kudos to Rahul who played the role of the struggling artist to the halt.
The play ended by asking viewers to decide if the entire play was a
dream in a dream or not.
