Lalit Kala Academy (Ekta Vihar, Aliganj) is the venue from October 12 to 18 of a ‘One Man Show’ of paintings tiled ‘Nayika Series’ by Nawal Kishore. The 28-year-old artist is a Master in Fine Arts from Lucknow University’s College of Arts. His repertoire boasts of many art exhibitions across the country and on display this time are paintings that portray woman as a ‘nayika’ or the heroine. The Amity Arts Foundation supports the show. He is head of the department in the Amity School of Fine Arts.
“The ‘nayika’ series shows peacock symbolising the Almighty and the colours used are mostly yellow and orange. For the nocturnal effect, blue has been used,” says the artist. “I have attempted to revive the classical Indian form of painting by using linear style and texture based on the traditional art style of the country,” says the artist, adding that his motto is to highlight the traditional art forms. He has painted 251 pictures in the nayika series out of which only 40 are being displayed here.
His previous series was ‘Lady Near Ganga’ in which he projected the contrast between poverty and affluence.
