Stonex brings stone images to Chennai with a multiseengery art and stone showcase

As an evening above the village of Cholamandalam artists, a banyan tree stood in an evening, where the stone story became. Stone portraits, an experienced chain by Stonex, were conceived as a multi -layered exploration of stone, its origin and cultural resonance, came to Chennai on 29 August, converting the site into a living canvas.

“Every stone of this planet has taken millions of years in its composition … our idea is simple: when you buy it, respect it,” Sushant Pathak, calls CMO Stonex. It is this perspective, not looking at the stone as an object but as a medium of memory, and as a culture, which reduces stone paintings. Through the immersive experiences, the initiative tries to resume the stone as more than the material, inviting the audience to face the story, tradition and art.

Settings performed their gravity. The guests went through a series of curate experiences designed to attach every meaning. The marble slabs stood with the establishments sour from different siddhas, revealing their geological origin, and guests were welcomed to feel the raw stone texture. Each installation was paired with chocolate prepared by Fabel of ITC, keeping in mind the taste from each region. Lasa Kovlano was associated with the layers of stone, cocoa and aspresso from Italian Alps. Bianco Vogue was paired with a fig -stor and whipped feta chocolate from Rhodop Mountains in Northern Greece.

In the heart of the evening, a striking sculpture by artist R. Magesh, who was first unveiled at Stonx Art Sori in March this year, raised the emperor. Fully Grigio Bronze Amani Marble, hand -carved, was born with a drawing that he sketched a decade ago and finally brought to life during a month.

Known for its exploration of animal forms in media, Magesh returned as a horse, which was a recurring symbol in his practice. “In a way a broken warrior symbolizes the collapse of the horse and, at the same time, the rise of pressed voices – the way of a new beginning,” he explained.

Adding to this sensory journey was the presence of four master artisans of Case Puram. While working patiently with chisel on the marble slab, he invited the guests to attempt witnesses and carving processes. This encounter with stone in its most original form created a bridge between traditions and contemporary lenses, through which stone pictures invite audiences to experience material and meaning.

Stone in Chennai closed on a note of continuity instead of portrait finality. Sushant reflected the evening, saying, “Our intention is to re -prepare the stone as a pot of cultural memory, imagination and stability.” In bringing artisans, artists and audiences together under a canopy, Stonx indicated that the journey is only the beginning, with many more chapters to be revealed.
