Atanu Roy's Illustrations of Magical Indian Mythology

THE HINDU

INDIA---Every artist has his own way to express his or her feelings and ideas. Illustrations and illustrators are often victims of this thinking and seen as minor artists. This idea slowly crumbles while looking at the exhibition “The Maverick’s Palette”, the first solo show of the illustrator Atanu Roy, being held at the India International Centre till May 23. The first artworks come from perhaps his biggest assignment: Magical Indian Myths. This book is not for children alone, but for everyone. Anger and violence are present in the drawing that depicts a furious Lord Shiva with his hand in Pushan’s mouth while ripping out his teeth. In the end, an illustrator uses his art to materialise imagination. [link]
