Artist Ravi Kattakuri’s works are on display at a solo exhibition in Hawa Mahal
Feminine energy dominates the canvases of artist Kattakuri Ravi's latest collection. Fifteen of Ravi's works are displayed at the Hawa Mahal at the three-day solo exhibition that started on Friday.
“My new works reflect the beauty of the woman encompassing the body and spirit, along with perceived attributes of goodness, tenderness, devotion and patience,” says the Visakhapatnam-based artist. Known for his unique style of Madhubani art-influenced feminine faces, Ravi's latest canvases veer away from the overwhelming shades of whites seen in his earlier work.
Using acrylic on canvas, the artist has experimented with application of bold shades, infusing energy and striking contrasts. The paintings are intricately detailed explosions of colour, symbols and motifs.
