INDIA---Far from the world of autos and fruit vendors, Lord Buddha meditates. Flowers are drawn all over his face in light colours. A few birds circle around him, pecking him on his face. Paintings of P. Vimalnathan are done on round plywood canvasses. “I chose the round shape so that it would break the monotony. Also, I wanted it to represent the halo around Budha.” Ashok Pachariyappan’s black and white frames feature woodblock printing. Ashok has done his under graduation in graphics. The artists who took part in the show are A Karuppiah, P. Vimalnathan, P. Ashok, A.R. Ramesh, Subramanian, Jeyasree, Usha R., Koilpitchai Prabakar, R. Karunaraj. [link]
