<p>The Pratima Art Gallery is hosting four artists whose works are on till the end of the month at the Gallery on M G Road. Each of the artists have picked themes that are varied in form and content. Each piece of art tells a different story and takes the onlooker to a different imaginative level altogether. <br /><br /> D H Suresh from Mysore chose to capture a village life in full. He has used bright colours such as red, green and orange to portray the same. “I have tried to showcase life in a village. The calm and the serenity of the countryside is unmatched,” says Suresh. <br /><br /> Shankar V Kadakuntla mixed traditional folk sculptures with superstition. He has painted a fortune-teller and a snake man with Lord Vishnu and temple architecture as a backdrop. Explaining the rationale behind this, Shankar says his idea was to remind one that people like the snake man and fortune-teller continue to do their part to remind one of the existence of God. <br /><br /> “They reinforce the power of God and instill the fear of the almighty in each one of us,” says Shankar. Sujithkumar G S Mandya has played up the concept of light. Have you ever wondered what happens when sunlight falls on people? he asks. <br /> He has captured two college-going girls and has focused on the sun rays that make their faces look bright, children returning home from school, a child who assists her mother at a construction site and a vendor waiting for someone to buy his wares. <br /><br /> The artists have done well in exploring themes such as freedom struggle, religion and love. <br /></p>
