Thota Vaikuntam
Thota Vaikuntam is one of the Greatest Artists from the Indian Subcontinent. Vaikuntam was born in Burugupalli, Andhra Pradesh. Vaikuntam completed a Diploma in Painting at the College of Fine Arts and Architecture, Hyderabad in 1970 and Painting and Printmaking from the Faculty of Fine Arts at Maharaja Sayajirao University, Baroda in 1972. Vaikuntam is preoccupied with portraying the men and women from his region. Vaikuntam is an Indian Modern painter. His paintings capture the simple lifestyle of villagers like the paddy fields, toddy pots on shoulders of men, the household chores, temple rituals and much more. His drawings range from stark charcoal on paper, transparent washes and pencil drawings. Vaikuntam paints colorful and elaborately dressed Telangana region, men and seductive women. His muse is the sensuous and voluptuous women of Telangana with their omnipresent vermilion bindis, draped in colorful sarees that highlight their dusky skin. The stylization of a painting is a perfect foil to Indian classical dance as the figures seem to dance as if following their creator in a statuesque movement, reminiscent of temple friezes. Vaikuntam uses the brightest of reds and yellows. The simple women become larger than life as they fill the small format of his paintings draped in bright Sircilla saris. "I like using rich primary colors, which give a sense of character and depth to my paintings. Like reds and saffron and even orange, because these are essentially Indian colors. I don't like using colors that are a mix of two, because they are not natural, they don't exist in the surroundings around us, in our everyday life." says T. Vaikuntam. Men and women of his village are often the central characters of his work. The obsession can be traced back to his childhood when he used to be fascinated by the male artists who used to impersonate female characters in the traveling theatre groups that performed in his village. Vaikuntam admits finding the women of his village very sensuous and that he only attempts to capture their vibrancy. Vaikuntam’s art has a sense of strength to it, a power that emanates from the paint or charcoal that he applies to the surface, from his controlled lines and from the fine strokes that he executes. Vaikuntam has held solo and group exhibitions. He was awarded the "National Award" for Painting in 1993 and the "Biennale Award" from Bharat Bhavan, Bhopal in 1988–89.
- Golden Flute, Acrylic Oil , Charcoal on Canvas by Master Indian Artist “In Stock"By Shuvaprasanna BhattacharyaLocated in Kolkata, West BengalShuvaprasanna Bhattacharya - Golden Flute - 25 x 25 inches (unframed size) Acrylic & Charcoal on Canvas Should you wish to receive it framed and ready to hang it would measure approximately 31 x 31 inches and cost 500 usd to ship . One of the most popular series of the Master Artist, The Golden Flute is the artists more romantic rendition of Art. The iconic figures of Krishna, Radha, and Ganesha that found lyrical expression in the Icons series are modern representations and sophisticated idealizations of the same images in the popular media. Krishna is a cosmic musician, and the tune he creates by playing his transcendental flute is embodied with cosmic energy. When Krishna is depicted as being between the age of 5 and 8, it is always with his flute. Therefore, during this period, he is aptly called Murlidhara (murali means “flute,” and dhara means “hold”), signifying the one who holds the flute. He is never without it, whether he is with his mother, on the grazing grounds with his herd of cows, among his cowherd companions or roaming around on the Jamuna banks. Gopis lose their selves in this tune. For them, music becomes the voice of love, which is too passionate and secretive. Style : The city of Kolkata has always figured prominently in his work. His themes come from his personal interactions with its urban milieu - its sickness and sordidness, its violence and vulnerability and all that compounds its existential agony. Shuvaprasanna has depicted varying moods of the city and its people, its places, and all its facets that make the city distinctive. He doesn't merely portray reality as 'matter of fact' and his presentation of reality often has dream-like elements in it. In terms of technique, Shuvaprasanna boasts a precise, finely executed style that yields an unmistakable visual intensity. He works comfortably in an assortment of media, including oil on canvas, charcoal, and mixed media. About the Artist and his work : Born : In Calcutta, 1947. Education : Graduated from Indian College of Art (R.B. University, Calcutta) in 1969. Exhibitions : Shuvaprasanna has had several gallery and museum exhibitions, including at the Tao Art Gallery and at the Chawla Art Gallery, Square One Mall. Several works by the artist have been sold at auction, including 'ABODE' sold at Waddington's 'Fine Prints & Photography Auction...Category
