Telangana Woman

One can find an aroma of affinity and affection for the home land in the works by artist Kandi Nasimlu. The artist in a very stylistically rich manner celebrates the many moments and episodes from his village in his work. He recreates them on his canvas keeping the unpretentious and natural attractiveness of the village folk intact. The works exemplify group of women and at times men engrossed in their mundane acts of work and recreation. There is a certain quality of stillness and immobility in the works which emanates a sense of calm. The stances and attitudes of the folk depicted are controlled and muted and they exemplify certain hidden understanding and bonding between them which reaches out to the viewer. The patterns and motives in the drapery lend a kind of movement and pace. The innocently mix matched attires create an interesting play of colour and design. The artist recalls the local Goddesses of his village and grants to the women in his works skin colour and tones akin to them which vary from shades of burnt umber to Prussian blue, etc.
