Dashavatara showcased

Hyderabad:  Kalakriti Art Gallery is presenting Dashavatara 'Dialectics of Tradition' by Giridhar Gowd. The artistic showcase which was inaugurated here on Sunday will continue till March 20 that would be open for all to witness the works of this profound artist. The eminently multi-talented R Giridhar Gowd, a consistently brilliant artiste, belongs to this august genre. 

His visual art depictions, particularly miniature paintings and murals exemplify this trait and seem to take inspiration from the land’s obsessive beliefs in puranas, albeit in dimensions that sync with the mindset of generations of patrons.

Based at Garuvupalem in Guntur District of Andhra Pradesh, Giridhar Gowd’s volume of resplendent works indicates a refreshing return to tradition that has been reinvigorated with zest, vitalised vision, and reinvention and redefinition, each of which finds symbolic expressions that are gloriously simplistic but amazingly expressive. 

Interestingly, each traces an overwhelming influence of epics that blend with puranic and mythical narratives.
