The city recently got a new 3,000-sq-ft pop art gallery, The Designera that made for the ideal mid-week visit. As we approach, we notice how the large glass windows and doors tease passersby with a glimpse of the all-white décor and splashes of colour embodied in pop art events and characters like The Simpsons. When we step in, we’re greeted by in-house artist Vijay Shinde who stands near a large canvas of a comic book-like character covered in Ben-Day dots. This is the live-painting section by the door where Shinde works.
