Ajay Kanwal is an Indian sculptor who’s interested in expression and relationship, his work is delicate and sometimes has a function to them. His main topics are illusion and realism, finding the difference and form an understanding. Everything is handmade and normally works on small individual pieces before connecting it all together to form one big piece.

I find his work simple to view but you quickly get the understanding and idea behind it that makes his pieces special. Also from far away  his work seems bland but on further inspection found that there is a lot of time taken and that its intricacy form the detail.

Tridip Sarma is an Indian sculptor works with the idea of positive and negative space in life; he works from the inside and out. He also works on memory and life in general.
I find his concept matches his outcome so that it may not be obverse to start with to know what he is trying to get across, who still form an understanding with the piece. He thinks outside the box making you question if there is more to the piece then what is revealed.
