Rhythms

A show of paintings by

A.V.ILANGO

Opening Friday 16^th December 2011

Show continues till 7^th January 2012 

Chennai based A.V.ILANGO is an artist and a mathematician and teacher . Coming from a very modest background , he faced great opposition to following his passion for art .

True love and true artists prevail and Ilango pursued his dreams while working as a teacher of Maths .

This perseverance worked and today he is able to paint and has an Art Centre where he teaches art and has art related events .

With mathematical ratios , his paintings have the perfect compositions , with figures at an angle to show dynamism , the icons occupying 2/3 of the canvas space . A frame is painted within a frame Using a palette knife to apply paint on canvas , his bold strokes show a vibrancy , an immediateness in his works .

Overcoming a personal tragedy , he has chosen to celebrate life . To delight in the joys , the pleasures , the rituals , the energy , the dance ,  the music , the rhythms of life .

Ilango takes inspirations from the flamboyance of the temple dancers and drummers . Their colours , their movements , their complete abandonment to the moment as they perform for the glory of life .

Bold strokes , bold colours , bold attitude , spell the mood of Ilango’s canvases .

Come , let  RHYTHMS 2011 get you .

Many thanks and much love , xx
