Different Strokes · since 2001
Colour, texture, and work made to be lived with.
I'm Simpy Bansal. For two decades I've worked in stained glass, ceramic, canvas and gold leaf — and lately in three dimensions, on consoles, cabinets and carved forms. Every piece is original, made by hand, and carries a story.
Work finds its place in the room it lives in
In focus
Between Day and Night
Acrylic painting on canvas with a wooden base of functional art having a top of sawn live edge · 67” width × 35” height × 20” depth
Inspired by those quiet hours when a city winds down, sleeps, and wakes up again. One side captures the bright energy of the afternoon which then slowly softens into a deep, indigo twilight. But as you follow the piece around, the dark gives way to that first, crisp line of morning gold. It’s the feeling of a fresh start, right before the rest of the world wakes up. A warm, live-edge wood top sits above it all, like a steady horizon line.
About the artist
Different Strokes opened its doors in 2001.
Two decades of stained glass, Tanjore art and painting — and a studio practice that has since moved into texture, sculpture and functional form. Every piece remains deeply personal.
