Artist Keerthana Prasad brings to Bengaluru a series of abstract paintings featuring the birds of Chennai.
Called ‘Colours of the Wind,’ the show is her first-ever fully abstract outing. Hailing from a family of artists based in Chennai, Keerthana was just 10 when her artistic capabilities were noticed.
“Ever since then, I knew art was my calling. I never really even wondered what other profession I could choose,” she says. During the lockdown, she and her son Vaibhav got to watch a variety of birds around their house. “For the first time in my life, I noticed so many beautiful species of birds in a city,” she says. Keerthana was drifting in and out of abstract art as she believed realism was her calling. “Things just fell into place last year. I finally had the time to understand abstract art better and experiment with it,” she says.
Opening on March 31, 5 pm, by artist S A Vimalanathan, Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath. Exhibition on till April 6.
