Agacharya

"I was born and brought up in rural raw sand and muddy terrains, those memories are still haunting me. The God painted natural beauties and landscapes, the innocence of people and their affection, their purity, their sentiments, the festival and celebrations of the village, those happy moments are still alive in me in my heart and vision which I always cherish", recalls the nostalgic Agacharya.

Agacharya's expert eye and the minute observations have bring alive the canvases he thoroughly splashes colour onto. The village women are the backdrop for the works of Agacharya; he tries to capture the essence of rural life of his native village which he has experienced earlier and is his biggest source of inspiration. He says women are the reflection of nature. He paints the typical South Indian women with village costumes; the sharp nose with a nose ring, the big bindis on the forehead with dark skin tone, the flat coloured sarees with thick boarders are the few elements in his works. The women often have seen gossiping while doing their day to day activities. The compositions of figures are very conventional; he minutely observes the expressions, the typical sitting postures in village and the hand gestures. He uses lots of earth colours; reds, yellows and greens are dominant in his paintings. There is no such hidden meaning in his paintings.

Agacharya was born in 1948 in Gattubuthkur, in Karimnagar District of Andhra Pradesh. He studied Higher Drawing from AP State Board of Technical Education & Training, Hyderabad. He has won the District level Best Drawing Master Award in 1989; he was felicitated by A.P State and Central Ministers. His recent shows were held in Hyderabad in the State Art Gallery, Muse Art Gallery, and Beyond Coffee Art Gallery, Hyderabad.
