This weekday art do was just what the doctor ordered on a rainy evening. The paintings on display celebrated art from the heart of Tamil Nadu. Three talented and distinctive artists from the region — Santhana Krishnan,
Sivabalan and Elayaraja — used mixed media works and paintings to create a vivid tapestry of the life, times and culture of the deep south. They tell of the fading traditions and still carefully preserved ways of life that stand on precarious ground in post-modern times.
BT spotted Alka and Raj, Carl and Hilde, Dave Cook, Oleh Iwanusiv, Namitha Shetty and Namrata Radhakrishnan catching up while they checked out the paintings on display.
