  Prabhakaran Kanichar recently open a stained glass manufaturing company at Cochin, in the name of "Fantasies on Glass"...Prabhakaran's Fantasies on Glass - The Glass Art Gallery and Stained Glass Art Museum located in Cochi Alleppy national high way side. This is a one of a kind unique glass art gallery in India. His works have variously been described as 'poetry in glass' and 'fantasies on glass' by discerning critics. His goal: transform traditional stained glass work into graphic,abstract,costummade and contemporary. Why glass?..."No other medium is so transparent,crystalline and pure,"says Prabhakaran Kanichar, who hail from this beautifull remote village. "Glass is brittle,as brittle as sensitive heart."

  "THE GLASS ART MUSEUM" It is a painstaking and time consuming art from last 20 - years of Prabhakaran Kanichar's creative glass art work collections, preserved at his unique museum at Cochin."This is the only Stained Glass Art Gallery in India" Having a single artist collections.. from the transperent glass art media. The local and Malayalam media neglect such talented artist who need to be nurtured and encouraged. Art gallaries are selling photocopies of original art works and there is less public awareness about original art works. As a canvas, glass poses a challenge when Prabhakaran's are working with it since it is transperent, and therefore the balancing of light and shade call for a very delicate handling of the subject and a diffrent approach with regard to style and technique.
