Sharmila Karri’s work explores the human-environment relationship through figurative art. Her vibrant palette captures transient moods and expressions on the medium of charcoal, acrylic and oil, making her work a reflection of emotions expressed onto canvas. “Whether it’s a farmer, flower seller, birder or gardener, this series is all about people I came across in everyday life, their passions, their trials and tribulations. It’s their stories that I have painted on canvas,” says Sharmla.
The exhibition will feature works of self-taught artist A Bhaskara Rao who has depicted seascapes, cityscapes and landscapes.
Gunavathi Anga, a self-taught artist, finds inspiration in the beauty of Nature. Gunavathi’s work captures the essence of landscapes and seascapes, bringing the colours and textures of the environment to life.
