The Hindu
Kochi-based artist Suresh TR has come up with a gel-based reagent that can protect oil paintings from fungus
A large part of the past two-and-a-half years was spent in a laboratory by artist Suresh TR working with chemicals. He was on a mission to develop a formula that can remove fungus from oil paintings. He worked closely with K G Vinodkumar, general manager (QA and R&D) of Kochi-based Nice Chemicals. After days and hours of experiments — trial and error — the duo came up with a gel-based reagent, which can restore oil paintings without damaging them.More Related News
