Art’s new dimension

Khele conceptualised the show nearly six months ago while watching a 3D film. “After the film,I went back to the drawing board and began looking for subjects that could be converted to paintings,” says the artist,who owns the animation studio Animationwala in the city. In the past,Khele has worked on the 2D film Hanuman and worked on illustrations for cartoon series by UNICEF and UNESCO. All said and done the work that went behind the paintings was by no means a small feat. Khele and his team initially studied the Dynaneshwari. “We looked at select patterns from his life. Things that told us his story. Something that people would relate with. And then we followed the pattern for the paintings,” he says. Even while painting Khele used the glasses. “We needed to wear them because it was the only way in which we could understand how much depth could we give to the paintings,” he adds.

Describing his technique,Khele says that the first step was basic doodling,where he created the drawings on paper. Then,using various software,the drawings were converted to digital format. “At this stage,we started using colours and 3D effects,” he explains. Red and cyan dominate the palette. Therefore,the 3D glasses are of the same colours and make the exhibits appear more vivid. He adds that once the exhibition ends on July 4,he will begin work on a full-length animation film on Sant Dnyaneshwar.
