Physical -disability is no constraint for 24-year-old Mandeep Singh “Manu”, a self-taught computer graphics artist, who has carved a niche for himself among the renowned artists of the Holy City.

While talking to The Tribune, the artist said he got attracted to computer graphics after he started learning accounts on the machine. “With encouragement from Mr Avtar Singh, a sculptor who runs the Thakur Singh Art Gallery, my art got a voice.”

Also impressed by his work was Mr Parminderjit Singh, the editor of Akkhar, a weekly magazine. “He used some of my works as titles in various issues of the magazine.”

Describing the art of computer graphics, Mandeep Singh said it was like a collage. “There are pictures of sceneries, faces and figures. All of them have a meaning. The artist breaks and joins these pictures to create a composition, which in itself is complete and different. It’s different because there is no need for colours, brushes and canvases. Here the computer is the tool and the monitor is the canvas.”

“Sometimes it happened that I tried to depict one subject, but the end result turned out to be different,” he said.

A student of B.A. (Major) in History from IGNOU, the artist has won an award in the 70th All India Exhibition of Fine Art, in the 2nd Annual Indian Royal Academy Awards – 2005 at Gulbarga in Karnataka. He also got the Vocational Award in 2004 from Rotary Club (Amritsar).
