impressions. the art series at the iit alumni center, chennai

On 2nd October, 2013, the IIT Alumni

Center launched

Impressions, its very own art

series.

Padmashri Dr. Thotta Tharani – Art Director

The main event of the evening was

an art exhibition that

featured PadmashriDr. Thota Tharani’s

select retrospective,

Inspired By Life.

Art connoisseurs who attended

the event at the Club in the City, Abhiramapuram

also met the renowned

artist.

As an artist, his work

spreads over a wide range of paintings,

murals, paper collages, wooden

montages, sculptures and more.

His keen observation, artistic hand, creativity and unique use of colours - from

a splash of bright hues to monochrome - make him a

rare artist.

He has used everything

from pencils, chalk, colour

pencils, crayons, pastels,

acrylic, and watercolors on canvas,

paper, boards, blackboards, sun mica and

ceramic mural.

Thota Tharani is also one of the leading art directors

and set designers of

Indian cinema. He has more than 175

feature films (and a few

foreign productions) to his credit.

'Inspired by Life' is a

retrospective of the

creative genius of

Thota Tharani that

showcased selected

works from his series.
