Vivid canvas: K.P. Gayathri, right, explaining her art works to visitors at an exhibition in Tiruchi on Saturday. TIRUCHI: At a time when abstract expressions within frames are in-thing in art arena, K. P. Gayathri’s works make an impact with expressive and defined features. Forty-five paintings, each vying to catch every eye’s attention, make it incredible to deem it as her maiden exhibition. Of all, murals mesmerise the visitors with their clarity and aesthetics. A ‘dancing Ganesha’ in mural takes the cake for its sheer magnificence. Colours sink in so well in paintings on deities and fail to strike people at the first look. Paying attention to details reveals the effort of the M.C.A. student from SASTRA University. Splashes of auburn on patchwork paintings demanded attention and not surprisingly, the works had many takers. Rustic woman carrying pots in mural made an aesthetic statement with sharply delineated features. Thanjavur paintings were rich with precious and semi-precious stones and gold foils. Standing apart was a painting on Krishna, which was attention-grabbing for the minute details given on the skin shades. Gurjari and Warli, tribal paintings of Gujarat and Maharashtra, were also tried out with success. Reverse paintings on glass set off exuberance of colours. Netted-dupatta was draped over the painting of village belle by basting it on the painted cloth to give it a touch of reality. A feet-tall urn embedded with glass and stones flaunted the brilliant composition. She has tried her hands on a plethora of media – from velvet and sand to cloth and wood. Embossed figures, too, carried her signature trait – clarity and expressions. “These are the displays of paintings that I began to work on from class VIII. I had no formal training in painting other than a crash course on Thanjavur painting. Passion apart, painting is an amazing stress-buster. It gives a creative platform to vent one’s feelings,” she says. The two-day exhibition, at Hotel Femina, will be open from 10 a.m. till Sunday.
