Bimetal Venu Gopal

Bimetal sculptures are a rarity in India as very few artists have mastered the technique. It is a long and tedious method of lost wax sculptures that are being avoided because of the extra effort and skill that goes into making them. This lofty mastery of this art is fast fading in this world of fast food, quick fix remedies and instant enlightenment.

This superbly sculpted Venugopal or Flute Krishna is made in copper and German silver. The entire body is in copper and the relief ornaments are sculpted in German silver. Pure silver is alternately used but the cost becomes prohibitive.

The beatific expression on his divine face, the sharp Aryan features and high arched brows, the graceful poise of His leonine body all add up to make this stunning piece of artistry a distinct masterpiece.
