Lalita
Dang's beautifully framed paintings, displayed at Karnataka
Chitrakala Parishat for three days from September 22-24, 2000,
were a fine blend of abstract and traditional paintings.
Member of Parliament, K Rahaman Khan inaugurated the
exhibition. Her paintings on the Panjabi fiction characters-'Sassi
and Punno' and the series of 'traditional paintings with
real gold' and oil paintings delighted the hearts of art lovers.
Both portrait and full size depictions of Radha Krishna
in traditional style were
decorated with gem stones and 'real gold.' Other themes included
Balakrishna on a leaf, Lakshmi, Radha in remembrance of her
Krishna, a replication of the Buddha painting in the Ajanta
caves. By incorporating gold and ornamental stones in her
depiction of gods and goddesses, she has skillfully blended
the Mysore and Tanjore art tradition into her work. The predominant
colours were blue, green and red.
Apart from the traditional ones, Lalita has created very aesthetic
paintings in abstract and modern styles of art as well. These
include village scenes, a beautiful woman of Maharashtra
with a fruit in hand, a little dancing girl with a sad face,
a hunting lady with an arrow in her hand and others. Her
embossed pieces like the dancing Ganesha and Krishna-Arjuna
on a chariot in Kurukshetra were very appealing.
Knife
Painting: Lalita's unique exhibit was the painting of a
landscape without the use of the brush, done with only a knife
and fingers. Her other exhibits were batik, oil paintings, and
pencil sketching. She is a perfectionist in her work.
Lalita Dang's fantasy with brush and colours began at
a very young age. Her works speak of how keenly she observes
nature. She feels that patience and imagination is what makes
a great artist. She is a student of Mrs. Vanita Kapoor of Merrut
Arts College. She did her diploma in amateur art and commercial
art from Acharya Chitrakala Bhavan, Bangalore.
Lalitha Dang invites viewers to share her delight in
different forms, in different formats.
