C Prakash
"A sensitive artist who has long been in touch with these ordinary folk people."
When we come nearer to everyday life and look at our ordinary men and women, living and working in their usual environment, we realize how genuine and beautiful our people are in their deep rooted belief and faith – the beliefs and the faith they live by and pass their dreary or eventful lives. A sensitive artist who has long been in touch with these ordinary folks, as part of his or her own community, tends to see the beauty that is hidden by the mass of the ordinary. It is this that artists like C Prakash of Karnataka attempt through an engaging and alluring metaphor and though the art of C Prakash is somewhat female centric, it is the interesting imagery that engages our eye with good mastery of colors and figuration that is enhanced by excellent composition and the draw of highly emotive colors. There certainly is some regional touch as well, which is of course natural. However that only makes the imagery more emotive—something with which the art lovers could identify.
