On the other hand, Sudhakarrsquo;s works talk about economic and ecological changes around him.A chance of a lifetimeAsit, one of the most talked-about young painters in India today, specialises in oil and acrylic on canvas, displaying great mastery over his textures and his figures. The AAF is held in different cities around the world annually.rdquo; he says. ldquo;He liked my work and we exchanged contacts; wersquo;ve been in touch since,rdquo; adds Asit enthusiastically.Unlike Asit, Sudhakar however plans to carry fifteen artworks of both small and big sizes on canvas and mixed media works revolving around subjects close to his heart.rdquo;All said and done, there is a catch about displaying artwork at the AAF mdash; an individual artist cannot participate.

Talking about his participation, Sudhakar says, ldquo;Given the considerable time Irsquo;ve spent working in my studio in Hyderabad, I feel more than before that it is time for me to spread my wings and take my artwork to different places.rdquo;. Also, art students will get a good platform to work and practice through the exchange programmes.An artistic expansionAsit plans to take around twelve of his artworks. One of the USPs of Sudhakarrsquo;s artwork is that instead of using wood as a painting surface in different ways, he uses it to add a contemporary expression and meaning to the artwork. ldquo;I will not be carrying huge canvases owing to logistical issues, but I shall galvanized letters wholesale have my small and medium-sized works,rdquo; says the Orissa-born, presently Delhi-based artist. ldquo;I am interested in the changes taking place around me.

I will be showcasing 12 works from the Relations, the series, which typically features a male and female figure, against a wide range of semi realistic mdash; almost bordering on abstract mdash; backgrounds.Hyderabad-based artist Chippa Sudhakar and Delhi-based artist Asit Kumar Patnaik are the only two Indian representatives invited to the Affordable Art Fair (AAF), London mdash; an international and contemporary art fair happening between March 11 and 15 this year. ldquo;I had long heard about the fair but hadnrsquo;t got an opportunity to be a part of it,rdquo; shares Asit. I believe the more we spread art and imbibe from one another, the more we can enhance our own expressions. I constantly search for the ways to visually express through materials and mediums that are both new as well as conventional. They need to display their works at other art galleries.

ldquo;And when he got in touch with me for the art fair, I was obviously really happy. Adding, ldquo;Apart from taking my work to different places, another aim of participating in such prestigious international art shows is to meet different artists and to lookout for student exchange programmes. ldquo;This is where I am really glad Nipun, Director, Innerspace USA Gallery, saw my work, appreciated it and wanted me to participate,rdquo; adds an excited Sudhakar. ldquo;The textures with geometric lines in these works suggest the cartographic geometry of our cities, which I show are expanding on to the bodies and areas of other creatures,rdquo; explains Sudhakar. For Asit, too, the finalisation of his participation in the exhibition was a dream-come-true.But as fate would have it, at Asitrsquo;s show in the US in 2016, he met Nipun.
