Young minds at work

Kalakriti Art Gallery organised an exhibition by artists - in -residency at its premises at Banjara Hills. Pallav Saikia from Assam exhibited works which had a tinge of being created by shades of burns.

It’s all about the tough life in Assam, the ethnic conflicts and the undercurrent of many caste and religion equations that have developed over a period of time. According to Pallav, the situation is something like a ‘time bomb’, which is ticking away waiting to explode on one day.

For Kerala-based artist Anupama Alias, the artworks reflect the way of society transformation and addresses rapid shifts and infliction in everyday life. It’s all about physical, physiological and psychological discrimination that is a part of life, that of femininity, which makes her the poem, the search, the response, the nature and the nothingness.

It’s all about searching her own identity in the paintings and also depicting the situation in Kashmir in some works.Suresh Banda from Telangana has been travelling from his pet village to the city of Hyderabad for studies in art. For him, the changes that have been happening in his village have intrigued him.

The joint families that were always there in the large size have been shrinking. Suresh states that he has been seeing a big change in the village life and somewhere all the development seems to try and make villages similar to cities in terms of concrete infrastructure and communication network channels.
