ABOUT ARTIST

Clever use of flatness and intricacy can be seen in the colorful works of Nagesh Goud, who largely drew his inspirations from traditional Kalamkari and Paithan art. Though the subject matter is derived from age-old epics and myths the approach is very nascent. The narrative is fragmented and reconstructed to cater to his visual feast, where strong flat hues are embellished with intricate patterns and designs. This is his personal creative visual vocabulary codified and internalized in search of an innovative idiom. The dramatic effects of filigree-like decorative patterns, which run through the cut-colored composition of puppet-like figures, evidently show his craftsmanship. With this interesting device, Nagesh Goud diligently re-creates the age-old narratives by bringing a fresh theatricality in his astounding creations.
