A medley of bold strokes and bright colours at art expo
A medley of bold brush strokes, bright colours and angular shapes, often reminiscent of the expressionist style, define the art of Alain Gambier, who goes by the moniker A* Gaambal. An expo — 'Glut 0.2 Fraternité, où es-tu?' (Brotherhood, Where are You?) — showcases a selection of the French artist's works at the Alliance Francaise. Though he sometimes resorts to figurative art, his preferred style is abstract. The artist believes that an abstract work of art has the capacity to trigger unbounded interpretations in the viewers. And, in life as in art, he has this uncanny ability to shift from artivist to a free spirit always looking to spread fun and laughter. Not surprising for someone who takes his life code from the Charlie Chaplin maxim 'A day without laughter is a day wasted,' finding and spreading joy and happiness is central to his artistic pursuits. A spinoff of this has been a fun video series titled 'Glut' that evolved 'as a family play with art and words'. A Glut logo was designed by his artist-nephew Koumar David as a sort of signature to mark out his body of artworks. It wasn't long before a Glut YouTube channel was launched to present some of his work in a comical-absurdist mode, where 'the artwok itself is a character'. A. Gaamblar is quite in his elements when he forays into the realm of the absurd as he does in some of these art-based video segments. In one such segment, the artist pretend-pushes on a painting of vertical piano keys to the background score of 'O Fortuna', a medieval poem from the 13th century Carmina Burana collection that was set to music by German composer Carl Orff. For him, in this ongoing mad world, absurd is what can re-open the field of possibilities. The absurd and art combined make the frontiers between living beings vanish and lead to the surge of shared happiness, he feels. The artist is also popular for establishing the Glutotel Homestay, a boutique eco-living space near Auroville, featuring unique 'Glut' rooms with teak woodwork and lit up by art works. One of his works has also been used as illustration for a new French work of fiction, 'Les Etats D'âme Du Caméléon' of his spouse, Yamouna David, past practicising lawyer at the Paris Bar and daughter of former Madras High Court Judge and author David Annoussamy. In order to raise the fun quotient and make the expo more participatory, the artist, along with the hosts, have organised a fun contest where a reward awaits visitors who come up with the fancy titles for the contemporary art works. The best title tip will get a prize at the valedictory of the expo on August 6.

Bhoomi Trivedi Reinvents 'Saibo' With A Groovy, Bold Spin That's Winning Hearts
Last Updated: Bhoomi Trivedi's new single Saibo is a bold, groovy fusion of traditional charm and contemporary beats. Singer Bhoomi Trivedi, best known for her fearless musicality and striking vocal versatility, is back with a bang. Her latest single, 'Saibo," is not just a song—it's a creative revelation. With its infectious rhythm, eye-catching visuals, and a resounding sense of modern Indian style, Saibo is poised to become a defining track in Bhoomi's ever-evolving discography. Rooted in the meaning of 'beloved," Saibo is a groovy, foot-tapping track that marries lyrical elegance with a pulsing beat, inviting listeners into a world of anticipation and vibrant imagination. With its dynamic production and Bhoomi's powerful voice at the center, the track is a bold blend of tradition and innovation—qualities that have long defined her career. But the story behind Saibo's music video is as intriguing as the song itself. Initially filmed in Jaipur with a more traditional soundscape, Bhoomi had a sudden change of heart—sparked, interestingly, during a playful outing at a game zone with her nephew, Hiyansh. Inspired by the setting's energy and color, she decided to scrap the original shoot and start afresh. The result? A completely reimagined music video shot at two distinct locations, creatively styled to resemble four to five unique sets. The transformation added layers of texture and modernity to the visuals, echoing Bhoomi's desire to push boundaries and give audiences something entirely unexpected. 'Creating Saibo has been an incredibly imaginative journey," Bhoomi shared. 'From a game zone inspiration to reshooting the entire video for a fresh take, every step was about pushing boundaries and bringing something truly unique to my audience. I'm thrilled for everyone to experience the magic we've poured into this song." The new music video is choreographed and directed by Prince Gupta, with vibrant production contributions from DJ Kwid, Gaurav Dhola, and Janki Gahdavi. Every detail—from costume styling to lighting and camera work—reflects a commitment to artistic innovation. Saibo is now streaming on YouTube, and fans are already buzzing about the track's bold sound and stunning visuals. Whether you're a long-time fan of Bhoomi's work or discovering her through this single, Saibo promises to leave a lasting impression—bold, groovy, and unforgettable. view comments First Published: August 04, 2025, 20:17 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
