Sanjaykumar Hullennavar, a young and talented artist from
Raibag, Belagavi, Karnataka, showed his watercolour landscapes at
the Art Gallery of Kala Academy – Goa. This show was organized under grant – aid
of Kannada & Culture Department, Bengaluru.
Sanjaykumar is
postgraduate in fine arts and currently pursuing his interest in landscapes and
creative art. Passionate about watercolours as a medium, he moves about in the
state, identifying and capturing various admirable spots and heritage
structures through brush and paint.
Each of the twenty two works on display brings to life the
original place it represents. Bold and confident with his skills and handling
of this difficult medium, Sanjaykumar does large works that are qualitatively
excellent and aesthetically pleasing. Having the drive to upgrade his skills,
Sanjaykumar has been experimental at places. Attempting minimalist approach at
certain places along with limited palette and unconventional compositions, he
displays his maturity.
Some of his appealing works, that have wonderfully captured
the heritage structures from Karnataka, are ‘Virupaksha Temple, Hampi’;
Anjanadev Temple, Hampi’; Shahumaharaj Palace, Raibag’ and Mahadev Temple,
Raibag’. Besides this, he has painted the local spots such as ‘Kudachi Railway
Station’ and landscapes.
Anjanadev Temple atop a rocky hill
has been captured from an angle that brings out divinity to the structure. ‘Vijaya
Vittala Temple’ is infused with grandeur by way of unique composition. Whereas,
it can be easily deduced, looking at four compositions in a line of a single
subject that, Sanjaykumar is enamored by
the royal appeal of Shahumaharaj’s summer Palace at Raibag.
Each of the painting of this
palace reveals a unique angle and narrates a different story.
Sanjaykumar has attended numerous
art camps that includes ‘National Art Camp’ at Imphal , Manipur; ‘Sparsha 2 Art
Camp’ at Dandeli, Karnataka and others. He has had solo shows in Bengaluru,
Kolhapur and other areas. Besides this he has participated in numerous national
and international group shows that include Colombo, Cochin, Chennai and other
places.
Sanjaykumar has received numerous awards and
held demonstrations of his skills. His works are in collection in India and abroad.
The show was on till May 5, 2017.
