SANG-E-CASA, THE ULTIMATE STONE STUDIO

An Initiative By Munish Gangwal

Sang-e-casa is a very exclusive sculpture studio where sculptures are not just created with tools, they are created out of imagination. It's for the first time that nature has an upper hand. In our studio, appreciating the natural shapes and textures, we create art.

It's very true that no two stones, rocks can ever be identical in this nature created by God. Hence, not trying to change that, we create pieces by sourcing interesting naturally shaped rocks and let the imagination revolve around that. The artist himself cannot reproduce an identical piece again.

The sculptures are usually made with a combination of stones or rocks or both of different shapes and sizes. Once these are put together, the artist, using his imagination creates different figures. The natural texture of these rocks and stones are created over millions of years helps in discovering an expression for these sculptures. This is what makes every piece truly one of a kind.

The complexity of the sculpture depends on the combination of the number of stones. The sculptor has not only created few rock pieces but has also experimented with thirty-five or more stones at a time. When these stones are brought together, they create an ultimate masterpiece for home decor.

Some of the key pieces created by the sculptor represent Yoga Poses, Gods, Goddess Mythological Characters, Meditation Positions, Animals etc and they are all achieved by just imagining from what nature has to offer. There are only simple straight cuts given to take out some part of these stones to create balance, but they are smartly hidden from the eye.

Some of the cutting edge technology involved in the making of the sculptures are sand blasting, diamond drilling, acid wash, carbon welding and steel reinforcements. A natural finish is achieved by the use of stone powder as the top coat. Coloured sculptures are created with a preminum quality of Meena from jewellery industry.
