It's what comes with having an artist for friend :)
It's in three zones:
one, a cafe with so much art everywhere, that I didn't realize until we were leaving that it actually served food
two, the actual art exhibition which is currently displaying artist K G Subramanyam (Vaikuntams teacher he said)
three, a 'concept and design store' called Creatif, which opened just a couple weeks back. It's a whole different experience again, like I was telling those girls, it was like walking through a museum, rather than a store.
Rest in pictures:
The entrance which has some pretty sculptures and art pieces
That's the cafe, where every single piece, be it the tables, the chairs, the panels, the walls, the trees are all a piece of art.
Sujata, engrossed in an acrylic of Ganesha
One of the many tables, it was interesting to see that most of the tables were already bought by Zomato
Entry to the main art exhibition
The core art gallery
Entrance to the design store, where every piece sold is inspired by a well known artist, and almost anything you touch has a story
The pretty girls who run the store, I sadly can't recall names
A stoll inspired again by an artists work
A picture from their archives of royalty and history, they had so many beautiful pictures, but this one so caught my attention....like made me want to know her kind
This was us meeting Vaikuntam
Sujata, must say thanks....an enriched and beautiful morning. Spaces of visual beauty and inspiration in an urban landscape.
Sujata was visiting, and in the middle of conversation says "chal art galleries ghumke athe hain", and as faithful friend I go along. I must admit that all my art exposure is happily inspired and thanks to her.
Kalakrithi Art Gallery, is literally down my road, I must have passed it a million times, but the thought to go in had never even occurred.

While we started thinking we'll visit two, Kalakrithi itself was so engaging that it took over our entire allotted time, and could have easily taken more. The ambience, the vibe, the quiet energy, the feel.....and then you see how each piece of art adds in to create it.
And what's more, we chanced upon the well known artist Vaikuntam there, who'd come to visit as well. We got to talk enough to hear a lot of his story and how while he's always been painting, it was a visit to his native place in Karimnagar that finally inspired him to his niche art that shot him to fame ( he does these typical rural telangana women, something raw and powerful there). Was a fascinating half hour with him.
