IIW 2023 Welded Art Book

Jitendra Solanki (India)

ArtCroc is a registered brand of Infine Art Ventures LLP, a DPIIT (Govt of India) recognised Art Start-up known for its unique idea of creating beautiful sculptures from scrap metal. Converting scrap into valuable art pieces is an innovative way to show concern for the environment encouraging the masses to reuse, reduce and recycle for a better future. The exhibit is a symbol of the importance of the bicycle. In many rural areas in India, young girls often struggle to attend school since there are no school buses available to take them the long distances to the nearest schools. In West Bengal, a programme to give bicycles to 4 million young girls in rural areas was introduced with great results in 2015. This is a great initiative with lots of benefits which the welding industry could contribute significantly to. https://wbsaboojsathi.gov.in/v2/ With respect to the bicycles, if this concept spread to all other states in India, the number of welded frames required would be immense. Maybe India could set up a bicycle industry to rival Taiwan as the

“Bicycle Kingdom”. nContact Infon Email: sachin@infineart.in Curator: Sachin Kaluskar, Designated Partner, Infine Art Ventures LLP
