In one canvas named ‘Relationship’, the emotions that emerge from a romantic one to a happy-go-lucky life, and eventually wither away like a dry leaf due to misunderstandings was well captured.
Another piece called ‘Fe-male’ showcases women carrying umbrellas, symbolising protection against abuse and aggressive behaviour of men.
It was a collage of myriad thought processes that neuro psychiatrist and artist C. Radhakanth brought through his oil paintings on canvas at his solo exhibition put up here on Sunday.
The graded sequence of his works included application of smudging, spraying and pouring techniques.
Drawing the attention of the onlookers, the artist brought out sensitive strokes of human emotions by unearthing relevant themes like ‘dive deep’, ‘choice’, ‘peace’, ‘hope’, and ‘manimal’, among his 15 pieces.
One of his works, ‘state of a State’ with a road that passes through the middle of the canvas, clearly indicated the separation of the State and its uncertain future after bifurcation.
Similarly, the painting ‘Fe-male’ has many shades of pain and suffering that a woman goes through in her life.
“The frame also shows women can put an end to their sufferings in the form of education, marriage, legal remedies, feminist revolution and sacrifice. Similarly, it also signifies men’s attitude towards women should be more than skin-deep. This helps in accepting women for what they are rather than how they are,” explained Dr. Radhakanth, who was happy about the way he encapsulated different emotions through his works.
Most of his creations were inspired by day-to-day life, human relationships, and suffering, apart from the means to find out solutions within oneself.
