Kamalesh
Born in Mysore, Kamalesh is a master of many artistic
mediums: from water colours to oil-on-canvas to portraiture.
However, he is best known for his exquisite illustrations of
historical monuments. His latest work, commissioned by Brigade
Group, is featured in the 2003 calendar.
The magic of Kamalesh's sketches lies in his ability to recreate
ambience and architecture with equal felicity. His dimensional
accuracy and perspective are faultless, though he never uses
any measuring devices. Nor does he ever erase a line he has drawn.
Each illustration is completed at one sitting, at the site. |
Kamalesh's use of white spaces enhances settings and lends scale
and perspective to the subject he is covering.
With many honours to his credit, Kamalesh has served as artist,
researcher, teacher and art consultant. He has held exhibitions
and one-man shows all over India. His sketches and paintings
have been acquired by several organisations in India, and are
in private collections in the USA, UK, Germany and the former
Soviet Union.
