Reception: Thursday January 10, 2008 6-8 PM

Press Release

For Indian painter T.R. Ranga Ramanujam, art has always been a way of life. His father was an artist, and at an early age Ramanujam traded his artwork for sustenance. Self-taught and unwavering in his devotion, he is so skillful that he was once disqualified from an art contest because his black and white pencil sketch was mistaken for a photo. Ramanujam works mainly with oil paints now, after the advice of his mentor, the painter S.M. Pandit, and how fortunate for us that he does. He has a rich and earthy palette. The rhythm of the composition often moves the eye into the center of the painting, a scene that is not as unassuming as it appears.

While an understated spirituality, a sense of community, nature, and tradition pervades each piece, an intriguing tension arises the longer one studies his work. Ramanujam has been painting for 66 years and has been exhibiting and selling his work since 1997.
