id most wanted: Soaring in Fuji by Vikram Goyal
This oval-structured wall panel is adorned with feathers and flowers, capturing a swan in mid-stretch, ready for flight
We’re ardent admirers of Vikram Goyal’s work, where contemporary design meets artisanal techniques, creating awe-inspiring pieces. In this piece, Goyal employs the repoussé technique on brass to breathe new life into chinoiserie. This wall panel, with its oval structure, is adorned with feathers and flowers, capturing a swan in mid-stretch, ready for flight. As with all of Goyal’s creations, the attention to detail is impeccable. Repoussé, a technique traditionally used in India for temple doors and ceilings, thrives in regions like Varanasi, Kumbakonam, Tiruchirapalli and Mysore. While the process is historically focused on devotional themes, Goyal’s studio explores it through organic abstract patterns and contemporary interpretations of classical decorative arts. Achieving such intricate designs involves months of meticulous experimentation and sampling. Using the traditional repoussé process, Goyal and his team create an unconventional design language. The final piece is a synergy between designer and artisan, transforming detailed two-dimensional artwork into a breathtaking metal form through the skilled application of pressure, bringing the design fully to life.
