Gallery g Presents Opulence & Eternity A show by Rukmini Varma

gallery g is presenting "Opulence & Eternity", a solo exhibition of renowned artist Rukmini Varma, the great-great grand daughter of the master painter Raja Ravi Varma starting January 20th, 2017.

Through Opulence & Eternity, Mrs. Varma has opened to the public gaze once again her sumptuous and singular work, inspired by baroque masters like Rembrandt and Caravaggio, as well as by her illustrious ancestor who married the classical style to Indian subjects and themes. The canvases in Opulence & Eternity encompass a diverse range of historical as well as legendary themes, and are simply breathtaking in their splendour of style. The gems and jewels come alive on the persons of men and women who occupy scenes of high drama and metaphoric meaning. The highlight of the exhibition is a majestic nine-foot-tall painting that tells the story of the Hoysala emperor Vishnuvardhan and his queen, the legendary dancer, Shantala. There are also subjects inspired by Kerala and ancient Egypt, alongside a celebration of womanhood and beauty.

Created in her unique style, this is the first time since 1982 that Rukmini Varma is displaying her works of art. Born in 1940 as Princess Bharani Tirunal Rukmini Bayi Tampuran of the state of Travancore, Rukmini Varma is the great-great granddaughter of the master painter Raja Ravi Varma and custodian of his legacy as the Chairperson of the Raja Ravi Varma Heritage Foundation.
