Thota Vaikuntam Indian, b. 1942
121.9 x 304.8 cm
In this expansive diptych, Thota Vaikuntam unveils his unique interpretation and personal vision of Krishna. The composition features parrots as companions to figures enraptured by the soul-stirring tunes played by a flutist. Vaikuntam intentionally deviates from the conventional mythological representation of Krishna, presenting the flutist as a local villager adorned in traditional attire and ornaments. The women depicted in the artwork revel in the sublime melodies, embodying a profound connection with Vaikuntam's distinct perspective on the cultural and musical essence in the village milieu.
