Natural world shines in Ritu Kamath’s virtual show

The display also includes works done with the stippling technique

Noida-based artist Ritu Kamath pays an ode to mother Nature with a solo art exhibition. Titled ‘The Still of Life and Nature’s Voice’, the show consists of 30 mixed media works of ink and acrylics on paper and canvas including the stippling technique of art. After showcasing at Hyderabad’s Kalakriti Art Gallery, the show goes virtual at virtual.kalakriti.in/ The works are precise, intricate, reflecting an experienced hand and each canvas depicts a wide variety of plants and seasonal changes that take art lovers through the wonders of Nature. An arts and crafts teacher at Gyanshree School in Noida, Ritu explains stippling or pointillism as a process of creating clusters of dots in a pattern. “One can bring out a little depth, many highlights and fine detailing by building up the dots,” explains the artist who began to work on the technique from 2014 and has created 30 works on paper. “But those works are still in an envelope,” she adds with a laugh.
