The idea of making art from metal waste came to Mr. Gopal Namjoshi about 10 years ago when he saw a guy repairing a scooter. He noticed many metal parts were discarded while doing the repair work. Well, it took him a while to start working with scrap metal. His very first work with metal waste was the Peacock series. Interestingly, the peacock sculpture was chosen because the animal reminded the artist of his childhood. In Jaipur, Peacocks were a common sight for him and he use to feed them with his mom.
