Exhibition of Paintings

At State Gallery of Hyderabad AP INDIA

Inaugural Statement by Chief Guest,

For the first time I have seen painting exhibition on village theme. I am very much touched by the selection of simple subjects and the artists ability to bring out the expressions in such a way that even a common man can understand. It is a marvelous expression of artist's thought process on a common theme. I would like to congratulate the artist and wish him all the best in all his future endeavors.

Ratnakar's paintings and drawings are free from western art influences and deliberately ignored so called Indian urban sensibilities. But they are very much contemporary. They are the representatives of rural India .

Ratnakar has deep understanding of socio-economic, socio-cultural and socio-political conflicts of north Indian states and their knowledge reflects in his works and often strengthens it. His bold and powerful lines make his work distinctive and his bright colours make them inspiring.
