Savouring nature

A daub of nature, a whiff of mountain air

GLORIOUS LANDSCAPE Rajeshwar's art reflects nature

A brush with N. Rajeshwar's art is like a whiff of fresh air blowing away a world obsessed with money and logged onto Internet for checking the prices.

At the sarkari ICCR Gallery in the inappropriately called Kala Bhavan Rajeshwar is showing his works along with his pal Konda Srinivasa Rao.

Rajeshwar is gung ho about nature as he captures it from various facets and how man blends in with it, using ultra bright colours with the whites coursing through all the myriad hues of nature. It is almost as if the artist has discovered a soft focus lens as he drew images of temples, people washing clothes, mountains, rivers and even the Taj Mahal.

But it is not nature with all the details intact, but a canvas on which the colours have been daubed suggestively to evoke nature.

Step back and the acrylics on canvas, oils on canvas and watercolours on canvas bring alive a world of memories and calm you down.

Rajeshwar's pal Konda Srinivasa Rao too has his take on the nature but on the abstract side. The brush strokes are wider, splashier almost like a canvas slashed with a brush dipped in colours of nature.

The sea waves then become a wall of water that tsunami victims would know, to grab the contrast, Srinivasa Rao places a few pixels of a man waiting to be swept away.

The quantum of work too differs with Rajeshwar being the more prolific with 28 works while Srinivasa Rao has 14 canvases to show.
