Artist Thota Vaikuntam | Painter & Sculptor

Описание: Thota Vaikuntam was born on 1942 in Boorugupali, Andhra Pradesh. He is an Indian painter and sculptor. His paintings capture simple lifestyle of villagers like the paddy fields, toddy pots on shoulders of men, the household chores, temple rituals etc. His drawings range from stark charcoal on paper, transparent washes and pencil drawings.

Vaikuntam paints colorful and elaborately dressed Telangana region men and seductive women. His muse is the sensuous and voluptuous women of Telangana with their omnipresent vermilion bindis, draped in colourful sarees that highlight their dusky skin.

The stylisation of a painting are a perfect foil to Indian classical dance as the figures seem to dance, as if following their creator in a statuesque movement, reminiscent of temple friezes. He uses the brightest of reds and yellows. The simple women become larger than life as they fill the small format of his paintings draped in bright Sircilla saris.

He won the National Award in 1993, Hyderabad Arts Society award in 1973 and the Biennale Award from Bharat Bhavan, Bhopal, which he received in 1988 to 89. He participated in many exhibitions in Hyderabad 1972 to 1990 also so many metro cities in India and Singapore, Dubai, London, New York.
