Hyderabad: The city is gearing up to host ‘Satirical Symphony,’ a solo exhibition by acclaimed artist Rajeswara Rao. Curated by Annapurna M and Kiran K. Mohan, this exhibition blends humor and critique and will run from August 3 to 4 at the State Gallery of Art in Madhapur.
Rao’s art, influenced by themes of life and death, delves into the psychological desires of the physical self, capturing the essence of everyday people and their ambitions. Using a reverse painting technique on acrylic sheets, his vivid compositions offer rich, multi-dimensional perspectives that invite viewers to look beyond the surface.
Rao’s career features notable exhibitions such as ‘The Deccan Connections’ and ‘The Human Factor.’ Uday Jain, Director of Dhoomimal Gallery, praises Rao’s work for its robust imagery and bold subject matter, stating, “In a world where everyone is busy painting pretty pictures to match trends, Rajeswara’s frankness, boldness, and experimentation in subject and technique are refreshing.”
The State Gallery of Art will host a special preview of the exhibition on August 2 at 5:30 pm. This Hyderabad show serves as a prelude to a larger event in Delhi in September, details of which are yet to be revealed.
