Young artists showcase talent
The five-day art exhibition by 25 young artists showcasing their 65 works is a treat for art lovers. It provides a glimpse into the individual expressions of these upcoming artists, most of them students of the Andhra University Fine Arts School. Clearly, there were similarities among them in terms of concepts, but they exhibited in distinct styles. The works are in different media ranging from woodcut prints, etchings and lino cuts to water colours, dry pastels, oil and charcoal. Striking among them were `The bridge' (E. Ramesh), `Rest' and `Ants' (Nagarjuna Sridhar), `Self portrait' (R. Aruna Kumari), `Market' and `Catch' (M. Bhaskara Rao), `Hungry hen' (M. Siva Kumar) and `Handiwork' and `Temple' (G. Durga Rao). S. Prasad Kumar's untitled etching of a buffalo stood out because of its sheer repose juxtaposed with a softness of colour.) and M Ramakrishna's etching `Yet to be robed' was impressive. The latter had used a rough texture and there was a rythmic speed to the background denoting the sky.
K. Nagesh's `Thief' deserved particular mention, since this etching created a fair amount of visual interest and because of its colour perspective, the bold lines and sheer depth of expression.
Sandhya Shankar Patnaik's works were marked by a simple visual charm. Her favourite theme, 'The Woman', was rendered quite stunningly through a sensitive texture. There was imaginative show of colour and technique. Namburi Srinivasa Rao's forte was his masterly use of lines and it was once again evident in his two works.
S. Prasada Rao's `Landscapes' in water colour were radiant and out-bound as were M.A.M.C. Bhupal's two works with the same title. The latter's larger works in dry pastel were generous and winding, sometimes even wild. There was a strong feeling of barreness in K. Durgeswara Rao's `Landscape', also done in water colour. S. Tulasi Sridevi's drawing of a `Siva Thandava' in clay and charcoal and M. Vamsi Mohan's works `My thinking' in charcoal and white pastel were impressive. G. Suryanarayana Rao's `At the beach' in mixed media depicted fisherfolk at work.
Among the other artists whose works are on display are T. Bhavani's `The green street', several works by N. Ali, A. Pavan Kumar's `My Playground' and `My dreams', Uma's `Still life', K. Shanmukeswara Rao's untitled work and a striking pen and ink work by the same artist of a `Nagamalli tree', apart from works by M. Prasad and K. Hemalatha.
The show has been extended till 9 p.m. on Monday.
