K. Laxma Goud Indian, b. 1940
“Drawing is a sustainable tool in my creative pursuit; a singular line has umpteen nuances realising my imaginations. Drawing alone has driven me towards a fertile imagination, and drawing is the source of my metamorphosis”
-K. Laxma Goud
What sets K. Laxma Goud apart is his narrative ability as a traditional storyteller. His artistic works illustrate fantasy; he draws inspiration from his childhood in rural Andhra Pradesh.
Themes of humour, satire, vitality, and eroticism make their way into his paintings, prints, and sculptures.
K. Laxma's highly stylized figurations are often lungi-wearing tribal men and highly ornamented saree-wearing tribal women. The figures, often accompanied by lush flora and fauna, add a rustic, earthy feel. A vibrant colour palette highlights the figurations and their relationship with the nature around them.
Goud has a long list of adulations to his name.
