Bairu Raghuram's Bio
Bairu Raghuram (1949) - Profile
I attest my faith in nature. When I visit rural areas I use to observe the environment of the villages. I will do the sketches of human forms with their living style. The birds, animals, trees and structure of the houses with mud walls and country tiles and thatched roofs attract me very much I will depict the interesting subjects in my works. My image takes shape through the careful placement of lines and exists by virtue of textural and tonal contrasts. I use a variety of wavy and curving lines to differentiate skin from cloth, figure from ground. Due to repaid growth of urbanization this rural flavor is vanishing off. I like to depict rural environment in my works so that people can see the past glory of the rural areas.
