THE HINDU
INDIA - More than 70 painters of international and national repute and several sculptors are participating in the 25-day International Sculpture and Painting Symposium being held at the Sri Guru Vidya Peeta Education Institute complex at Kanadal village on the outskirts of the city. Six painters and six sculptors from different countries such as France, Germany, Moldove, South Africa, Italy, Serbia, and Dubai were taking part in the symposium that aimed at promoting art and culture and generate interest among the youth about fine arts. All the artists would donate their works to the peeta as a gesture to promote fine arts among children studying in different classes in the educational institutes run by the institution. [link]
Ralph Branacccio from the U.S. who is now settled in France; Wolfgang Brenner of Germany who is an expert in the emerging area of ‘conceptional' art; Elvira Cemortan and P. Guteira from Moldove; Shaif Quarshi from Dubai; Sheshrao Biradar from South Africa, and sculptors Miodreg Peric from Serbia, Paola Pompei, Albert Mariani, Brunvo Buttarelli and Samuele Palacco (all from Italy); and Ralf Klement from Germany are taking part in the symposium. Vasudev, artist, an expert in bringing out artwork in silk tapestry in collaboration with weavers, and reliefs in copper, said he was delighted by the initiative taken by the institution to promote fine arts and generate interest among young children about paintings and sculpture.
“It was a pleasant surprise to me when I arrived here three days to participate in the symposium…This is a very different kind of art camp,” he said. Mr. Vasudev said that, generally in India, the culture of going to museums and galleries to watch paintings and sculptures was not in vogue. At the end of the camp, the works of participating artists would be kept in an exhibition for a few days for the benefit of general public.
