Physical
or
the visual layout of Hyderabad city is a substantial blend of time and
space. People in Hyderabad wish to remain certain elements the way it
was. For
example, Hi-tech city and the Old
city area are the two paradoxical entity of this city and this
contradictory elements in this city significantly reflected in
visweswara Rao’s art work as well
Visweswara Rao born
and raised from an orthodox religious family and his mystical
calculative knowledge
skill is significantly reflected in this
exhibition as well . In order to complete, Mr Visweswar spent minutes
and
seconds and it reminds me the format of haiku stories[1]
which is routed from Japanese culture. Most of his art work predominated with the dextrous skill of drawing
For example, the painting entitled Birthday party painted with water colour on paper.
He coherently merged the diaphanous qualities of water colour with the natural exteriority
of handmade paper however the linear decorative motives in these painting
reminds his inclination towards drawings.
Visweswer’s
painterly approach is very minimal for
example the painting entitled Caged is an exterior layout of a wooden cupboard
.Most of his paintings deals with the Oil impasto[2]
technique in fact ,the effective usage of physicality of pigment is a narrate tool
through which Mr. Visweswar distinguish The
tactile qualities of objects in this
piece of art.
His aesthetic
obsession overlaps with the wed of white and grey. Predomination of hazy grey patches
and the minimal usage of linseed oil make the painting surface remain dry. The
schema of colour, dry pallet and the still life imageries remain the thought process
of Giorgio
Morandi[3]
In his most recent paintings Visweswar enacted like an impressionist[4]
who fall in love with luminous beauty of landscape and quotidian lifestyle of
Modern Europe[5]. Most of his recent paintings
exploring the possibility of a work of art from his family evidently different
objects such as toys ,holyday picnic
experience incarnate a new creative entity.
In
this exhibition Mr. Visweswar has showcased seventy four paintings. Majority of
these art works are the juxtaposition of
different tiny squares and rectangle .In
fact, this display of art work can be very well compared with the maze
of puzzle block or the different windows which people tend to opened in a
personal computer.
