FIGURATIVES

Figuratives are the most popular form of paintings in India. This comes from our rich heritage of icons and idols down the ages. A form easily understood and readily accepted has found wide coverage all over the world.

In this show, we have a group from all over the country, doing figurative paintings as their main genre.

Different styles - some diffused, some completely realistic, all wonderful.

Fatima has her exquisite style, where bright colours in their diffused form reveal a mysterious figure.

Ilango with his bold strokes and vivid colours has his figures perfectly proportioned splashed across the canvas.

Shankar using a bold palette shows his figures with a smudged screen. Very striking and well - received.

Ratnakar does his figures in a highly stylised, very fun and colourful manner.

The Latur boys - Anand, Amritraj, Vijay, Sanjay and Nitin have a realistic, rustic milieu, each in their own individual style.

Abbas has his own distinctive style, very humorous with a wonderful blend of the East-West garb.

Certainly A SHOW WORTH VIEWING, WORTH FIGURING!
