Tales From Telangana

by Padmaja Nagarur | 01 Jan 1970

Groups of children playing beneath a tree — climbing, running, chatting, the tinkle of bells from a bullock ambling about nearby, and women walking back after drawing water from a well— tales from lives that are deeply connected to the earth are what this art collection brings alive. This group of talented Telangana artists explore a rustic way of life, giving folk art forms a contemporary twist and connecting you instantly with the harmony that can exist between nature and man.

Laxman Aelay

Also famous for creating the new Telangana logo, Laxman Aelay is an artist who had his beginnings as a signboard painter. Deeply nostalgic, his paintings are known for their vivid colors used to depict everything from the jewelry the woman in the village wear to flowers and more. Inspired by the lives of the people from his village, Kadirenigudem, his work is impressive in its evocative imagery.

Agacharya

Hailing from Karimnagar, Agacharya paints women and men engaged in everyday routine activities. His palette of brilliant reds, warm yellows, and deep greens brings alive both the shy reticence of the people in the village as well as their untutored sensuality. Avoiding the usual decorative details that accompany folk-inspired art, his paintings are simple and captivating.
