"The Nature 1", height: 19",
by Venkatachalapathi
Venkatachalapathi
"The Nature 1", is an abstract form in bronze, and represents 'Purusha & Prakruthi'
(‘Man & Woman’ or ‘Man & Nature’).
Venkatachalapathi's versatility sees expression in a variety of mediums—a
9.5 ft bronze statue of the late Chief Minister Devaraj Urs; a 12 x 85 ft fiberglass
mural in Mysore; and terracotta, plaster and ceramic murals.
His work can be found in private collections in India and abroad, as well as
art centres like the Lalit Kala Akademi at Delhi and Chennai.
He has participated in a number of group shows and has to his credit a few one-man
shows as well.
He has participated in various painting and sculpture camps organised by art
institutions, including the International Sculptors' Symposium organised by the
Kannada University and the Chitra Kala Parishat at Hampi, in 1996. He has directed
sculpture camps in fiberglass and terracotta mediums in Karnataka.
Venkatachalapathi is the recipient of the National Award for Sculpture (1996)
and the Karnataka Lalit Kala Akademi Award for Sculpture (1980 & 1983).
