When the cool air exhibition in Thiruvananthapuram leaves the rustle

September marks the onset of autumn or fall – a gap between spring bloom and winter sadness. The decline, as the name suggests, is considered to be the duration of death and decay, as the leaves gradually lose their succulentness, are stripped of vitality. The art exhibition, when at the violopili culture building, leaves rustle in the cool air, is a tribute to decay, a reality in nature in the species – for the color of gray on a person’s hair from a twig of a branch.

An ode to decay

The curator says that the theme of the exhibition lies in a marginal place between tradition and modernity.

Sri Srinivas’s nest dreams, a water color painting, reflects a bird, which forms a nest from dry leaves above a branch, which begins to shrink itself. Dry leaves provide cushions for nests, which is made of twigs. Decay, in this context, goes to something new.

Canvas painting, Akhilesh Dr. oil on jackfruit, reflects an ecosystem around a jackfruit tree. Overrip fruits feast from the leaves eaten by squirrels and goats – all point to livelihood around the same unit, and that in different stages of development or decay, it has consumers.

Surendran’s Panni Tripi is from its severely acclaimed series Coconbulopolis, which is a Utopia described in Aristotle (Birds) in 414 BC, located between heaven and the earth. The picture contains a crying woman, who meets a bird, a bird.

Bose has demonstrated stretch bodies from his human body chain. The artist has used a squezer and mask to get the pattern. Red, green, blue and yellow canvas dominate. The technique of adding paint drops to the canvas to obtain a unique pattern gives a three -dimensional nature.

Two paintings of Godfrey Das are based on a scene on Kozhikode Beach. Watercolor illustrations of a vegetative area are five years different. While one is a replica of a greenery -filled scene, it is perfect for his vision, the second picture has hermites in white textiles, entering the forest, except civilization. The painting sees decay through the lens of self-acceptance.
