Thota Laxminarayana
In my own words "my works are a stylised vocabulary which is rooted deeply in the Indian folk tradition, I experiment to contemporise the rural idiom. Without diluting the essence of my environment I capture cultural documentations in my works. The serene appearing folks in my paintings are executed in a rich matrix of lines. Although, portrayed in a vibrant palette, the colour scheme in my work is highly contemporary. My spectator never finds a dull moment, as each canvas is a social documentary of life. I also portray humans coexisting with the flora and fauna which are indicators of green lives living in harmony. But, lately, after my shift to the city, I depict the urban settlement with my rural sentiments”.
