Elephantscape
Hailing from Jaipur and being in close network of artisans and craftsmen of Rajasthan Gopal felt as a responsible artist to showcase plight of elephants in Jaipur via medium of extensively used crafts of Rajasthan like Blue pottery, cane craft used by taziamakers, terracota figurines by a potter community called Prajapatis, Cloth puppet by local puppeteers, metal enameled techniques and miniature painting over an elephant made of resin. A collab between craftsmen and him was an experimental venture of introducing crafts in contemporary arts.
