About Gita Hudson
Gita Hudson's works are an effort to conserve the traditional temple arts of Tamil Nadu as much as a meditative arts practice. Gita’s artworks in this collection relate to three time periods and dynasties: Pallava, Pandya and Chola of 600 to 1200 AD, the Vijayanagara and Nayak paintings circa 1300 to 1650 AD and the Maratha Paintings to the Colonial Period circa 1750 to 1950 AD. Her paintings are semi-abstract with the suggestion of a female form, architecture, musical instruments, or some combination of these elements. They simultaneously explore colour, texture, line and form, not as juxtapositions or layers but as integral to one another. She is also a passionate documentary filmmaker, the performing arts, films and literature and an art curator at Dakshinachitra, Heritage Museum in Chennai.
