‘Palette of Colours,’ a joint exhibition of paintings by renowned artist and art instructor R. Kouwshigan along with his disciples Ananya Bagchi, Dr. Jaya Thakur, G. Kowsiga and Senthamarai Jeyaruban will be held on 25 and 26 March at the Lionel Wendt Memorial Art Centre
No. 18, Guildford Crescent, Colombo – 7, supported by Indian Cultural Centre, Colombo.
‘Palette of Colours’ is a gateway into a world of varied designs fused with a fine combination of skill and technique to form art that are aesthetically pleasing. Imagery that capture the beauty of natural scenery, wildlife, portraits, spiritualism, human emotions and abstract creations, are few of the portfolios under which the collection of arts will be displayed to peruse through.
Providing a visually delightful spread for art lovers, the exhibition promises a display of around 70 unique creations by skilled artist Kouwshigan along with his Indian and Sri Lankan students.
Kouwshigan is a self-taught artist. His passion to draw unravelled at the tender age of seven. His career in the field of creative art began in the 1980s when he was introduced to ‘Chinthamani’ and ‘Thinapathi’, Tamil newspapers of the Dawasa Group of Companies, where he started his journey as an Illustrator and a cartoonist. Working as a cartoonist, he developed an interest to explore the world of art and it motivated him to try out different styles of art and paintings. Through years of hard work, dedication and undying passion, today, he has been able to evolve into the canvas painting in different styles, Tanjoor painting, metal embossing art and glass painting as well as digital art and graphic/web designing.
