PRIZE WINNER "Perantaallu' in oils by M. Subrahmanyeswara Rao.
Thanks to the sustained zeal of its committee members, especially the founder secretary G. Khanna Rao and president C. Sanjeeva Rao (advoacte) of the Lalita Kalaa Parishat, All India Art Exhibition has become an annual feature in the Port city since 1971. The Parishad organised its 35th annual show recently in the Ramnagar Lions Club Hall.
Out of the 100 odd entries received from all over the country, in the form of paintings covering almost all techniques of folk, traditional and modern art besides the abstract and surrealistic category, 87 pieces were selected for the show for public view this year. They were works in watercolours and oils, drawings with pastels, pen and pencil, collages, wood cut prints and a variety of other graphics. The exhibits also included works from Karnataka, Tamil Nadu , Orissa and Gujarat in particular besides A.P.
While `Perantaallu' in oils by M. Subrahmanyeswara Rao was adjudged as the best, `Musings' in the modern abstract category by A. Appa Rao along with "Joy with Nature" in watercolours by K.S. Kamesh and wood cut print by J.B.T. Gowda bagged the 2nd and 3rd prizes.
Ardhanaareeswara (WC) by Rashmi. M, collage by P.R. Kumar, Graphic by V. Bhaskar and Fruit Seller (WC) by K.S. Rao received consolation prizes. All these works reasonably stood out for continuity of line and contour, aesthetic colour scheme and refreshing relief.
Former employee of the Railways, Dwivedula Somanadha Sastry, one of the prime disciples of late Pydiraju and winner of many a laurel for his works of art at the national and international level for his works of art both in the Eastern and Western traditions, was felicitated on the occasion.
