Exhibition Of Paintings By Sagar: Events in Hyderabad

REVIEW FOR EXHIBITION OF PAINTINGS BY...

These paintings have been done purely using dots. Here, then, is one person whose wavelength matches that of Photoshop!

Chitramayee - State Gallery of Fine Arts is organising an exhibition of paintings by Ginne Sagar, from 9th to 13th January. The peculiarity of the paintings is that they haven't been done using a paint brush, but by dots, mainly with the help of ball-point pens, for effective portrayal of men and objects.

Vibrant colors and the dots make Sagar's art eloquent and vivid. While some of his paintings present an other-worldliness with their dreamy effect, a few others are down-to-earth and possess a natural touch. The sharp dots and delicate lines weave a tapestry of rich colors.

J Ginne Venkateshwar (brush name Ginne Sagar) is a graduate in fine arts, who's exhibited his works at TCS of SVC Campus School and the India Handicrafts Week in Tirupati, folk paintings in Hyderabad, youth festivals in Tirupati, Nagpur and Visakhapatnam, the 2001 All-India Crafts Mela in Hyderabad, Urban Hut, and S V Museum in Tirupati. His murals can be found at Ocean Park.

He has been felicitated by various personalities like Dr C Ranga Rajan, Dr Amolak Rattan Kohli (Governor of Mizoram), Nara Chandrababu Naidu, Late G M C Bala Yogi, Madhava Reddy and Bandaru Dattatreya. He was selected as a jury member for the South Asian Universities Youth Festival at Nagpur University in 2000, the South Asian Universities Youth Festival at Andhra University in 2000, and the Western Indian Universities Youth Festival at Nagpur University in 2001. He is currently employed with the TTD at Alipiri.
