Art got digitalised at this exhibition in Lucknow

A digital art show exhibition was held recently in the city. Organised by

Dr Geetanjali Joshi

, a digital art trainer, a total of 150 selected art pieces were put on display. The exhibition also featured some of Geetanjali’s watercolour and digital paintings. A unique thing about Joshi’s section of art was that every single painting was inspired by a literary book, a novel or a poem.

"Generally when people think of art, they think about a paper, brush and pen. Digital art form however, is a very new and innovative concept, yet already in demand. Honestly, even I’m a traditional artist and I’ve never done digital art. This is my first experience as well. Through this, I want to see the nuances of digital painting. The idea behind this exhibition is to bridge the gap between technology and art," said Geetanjali.

The event saw a huge turnout of art lovers, art communities and students from various art colleges along with private art institutions. Naisha, a recent graduate, said, "One unique thing about digital art is that you can get several reprints of the same piece, which I think is amazing."
