THE HINDU

"Buddha The Great" by M. Lokeshwara Rao

INDIA---The serene face of the Buddha is reflected in a row of paintings as though one has walked into a corridor of mirrors. That is if each frame of the mirror is a splash of colours with its own sometimes abstract, sometimes spiritual motifs. This is the experience that the exhibition of paintings in acrylic titled “Buddha The Great”, a solo by IFS Officer M. Lokeshwara Rao, has to offer. Rao’s Buddhas are colourful, to say the least, whether in terms of the profile itself or the background. He paints the Buddha in bright reds and blues, greens, yellows, sometimes using sparkling dots to compose the image. [link]
