Thota Vaikuntam (b.1942)
Estimate : 2,00,000 - 3,00,000

‘I like using rich primary colours, which give a sense of character and depth to my paintings. Like reds and saffron and even orange, because these are essentially Indian colours. I don't like using colours that are a mix of two, because they are not natural, they don't exist in the surroundings around us, in our everyday life.'

'T. Vaikuntam hails from Andhra Pradesh, in South India, and draws a lot of inspiration for his work from the rural areas of the state. The men and women of his village have often been depicted in his work. Women, in particular, are frequent subjects for his works. The love for this subject can be traced back to his childhood, when he used to be fascinated by the impersonations of women characters by the male artists of the theatre groups that travelled to, and performed in his village.

He portrays women as sensual and voluptuous. The colors used to paint women give them a vibrant and decorative look. The male form appears remarkably calm, with a sense of humor. His work has a distinct rural flavor. In his work, he uses only primary colors. Most of his work is in tempera and watercolor on paper. His recent substitution of paper with wood lends his work an ephemeral quality.'

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).
