Ramakrishna Vasanthula

Recent works of Ramakrishna echo his responses to the city environment. Having been born and brought up in a province of rural Andhra Pradesh, he has had enriching encounters with natural surroundings. In the absence of such spaces the artist looks on at the omnipresent concrete-scapes of the city for inspiration. In a set of acrylics on canvas, where colors are used minimally, he portrays vast expanses of heavily structured buildings. Those in blue have an imposing presence and also make no further way to go beyond them thus, creating an impasse. When the skies get red at dawn, in his other canvas, there is a certain hope of overcoming the daunting constructions as a passage through them becomes visible leading, perhaps to a better future.

I am very impressed with how well organized and well run the Mojarto Gallery is. I had the privilege of dealing with you through emails and mobile and what an excellent team you are! Working with you and all the Mojarto Gallery people has been a very positive experience for me. I loved the way you displayed each artists work and the smooth and clean transactions after selling the paintings.
