(Raman, A.S., The Southern Accent, Tamil Nadu Ovia Nunkalai Kuzhu, 2000)


'The contemporary painter in India, like those in Europe and the United States, is on the constant search for new and more engaging medie for self expression. Batik work on clothes and cotton painting through ancient Asian crafts have come in handy once again as new media for picture making.[...] P. B Surendranath is one among them who has made excellent use of these techniques in his recent paintings on cloth. [...] Surendranath's recent paintings in the above media are more or less cubist-abstract. He began as a landscapist in the watercolour medium and is still known for his old techniques.'

(excerpt from Art Trends: A Contemporary Art Bulletin, Volume 3, No. 3, April 1964)

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
