On the walls were framed ‘faces’ sketched in charcoal. The art gallery, Suryakanti, at Sasthamangalam, Thiruvananthapuram recently saw the
exhibition of charcoal works
by veteran
artist BD Dethan
, titled Faces. The frames communicated various facial expressions except happy faces. The charcoal images touched upon violence, tremors and pains of the people in the country, a portrayal of the sadness in contemporary society. Interestingly, the collection is not a new series, but something the artist had painted in the 1980s. The exhibition was inaugurated by writer
Perumpadavan Sreedharan
. We also spotted veteran artist Katoor Narayana Pillai, Babu Jacob, Lizzie Jacob and Nemom Pushparaj.
