IN UNISON: Artist B.K.S. Varma paints as the flautists perform
Bangalore:
Music can inspire art and the other way around too, perhaps.
The annual music festival of Vamshi Academy of Music Trust, Rajajinagar, this year had all the regular features and something different too.
The father-son flautist duo behind Vamshi, B.K Anantharam and Amith A. Nadig, played to an audience of around 1,000 music lovers who had to keep shifting their eyes from the stage to an easel mounted to the side. While the flautists started off with the evergreen Vatapi Ganapathim in Hamsadwani raga, artist B.K.S. Varma began painting Lord Ganesha. More songs and portraits of their saintly composers were to follow with the artist almost keeping to the rhythm of the music with his brush strokes.
Then it was Kanakadasa's Baro Krishnaiah and Thunga Theera Virajam of the saint of Mantralaya, Sri Raghavendra. The artist's portrait of the saint was striking; the lines matching the music.
