Transgenders and Shankaracharya come together on canvas

New Delhi, Nov 18 (IANS) South Asian theatre, traditional Kathakali dance, a festival of transgenders and Adi Shankaracharya's text "Saundariya Lehri" (Waves of Beauty) fuse in Chennai-based artist George Kuruvilla's works, now on display in the capital.

The exhibition of paintings, photographs and sculptures -- one of the most talked about in the capital this season -- opened Nov 16 at the Apparao Gallery of the Triveni Kala Sangam.

The themes are figurative -- drawn from Kathakali rituals and Japan's ancient Kabuki theatre. The graffiti -- or the recurring texts that Kuruvilla sprinkles on his compositions like sacred mantras -- are from Adi Shankaracharya's work hailing the beauty of Shiva's consort, Shakti or goddess Durga.
