Painter’s tribute
To mark the second death anniversary of the veteran actor Rajkumar, Aniketana organised a song tribute as well as an art workshop in National College, recently. This workshop is unique, for, it is the first time that a workshop in memory of an actor has been organised. Every artiste had different ways to depict their favourite actor.
The workshop was the brainchild of I.M. Vittala Murthy and was supervised by artist, N. Marishamachar. All the works that were produced at the workshop will be on display at Karnataka Chitrakala Parishat from May 1 to May 7.
There will be works of over 31 artistes.
