The spectrum, the annual art exhibition of the Department of Fine Arts at Andhra University is an honest dialogue between the artists and the world around them. The show is a layered performance of the actions of BFA and MFA students of the department, which reflects a tapestry of subjects provided in printmaking, carvation, ceramic, woodkat and mixed media.

One of the standout works is a war with war, breathing three-four-four-foot wooden woodcuts by Karingi Tininath, who boldly addresses the subtle unoyeraned violence of passive smoking yet. It is deeply individual and universally relevant. The self-painting of Trinath captures an internal conflict, where his breath is taken hostage from the smoke of the nearby smoker. Visual language is striking. A snake shaped cigarette coil dominates space like an unwanted intruder. A squirrel, restless and vigilance, tampering the metaphor through the scene, reflects the fragility and restlessness of the artist’s breath.

“This work is my way to express clustophobia I felt felt; my breath is struggling to survive in someone else’s breath,” says Trinath. In another work in Cashi, Trinath shifted gear to criticize the binding scroll culture of social media, using cattle as a metaphor to detect blind herd mentality and personality erosion. The tone is satire.

N Hyndhavi’s multicolored work of printmaking of Hyndhavi depicts a classroom scene. At first glance, it appears misleading, but the technique reveals the commitment behind it. “In printmaking, registration is everything,” Hyndhavi says. “When we use many colors, it is important to align each layer. One is wrong and we start again.” The composition speed and color captures not only the moment of an orbit, but also the entire atmosphere of shared learning and silent observation. This is an ode for embedded, procedure and patience in the printmaker’s craft.

Ceramic artist Anita Rao takes us out of the studio and through the work of her shining stone vessel in the open area of ​​the Himalayas. It is a quiet meditation on solitude, height and natural world. In the second, she captures an overloaded jeep, which symbolizes the tension under population under the pressure of the rural infrastructure. For the delicateness of systems extending to their limits, a powerful statement on dynamics and safety.

The exhibition also includes a student interpretation of Ajanta caves drawn from a recent visit to an area. This work pays homage to timeless artistry, giving fresh reference. From striking sculptures and paintings to experimental abstraction, they remind the audience between the continuation between the past and the present and the role of observation in creation.

The show is till 1 June. The time is from 10 am to 6 pm.
