Kalady Sree Sankara Sanskrit University Fine Arts students with their paintings at Lalita Kala Academy yesterday. KALADI Sree Sankara Sanskrit University Fine Arts students are in the city now to put their paintings on show in the weeklong exhibition started at the Kerala Lalita Kala Academy yesterday. A total of 37works by 13 students are exhibited in the show. The students are quite happy as they are given a warm welcome in the cultural capital. Works in the show are part of projects included in their course of study. The show is a mixture of murals and paintings. Traditional myth and different frames from religious scripts find place in their works. Students are free to select their topic of interest for the project. One artist Saranjith leaves more white space in his works and gives less importance to figures. His largest painting sized 12feet breadth and 8 feet length exploits the possibilities of installation in paintings. "Experiments in paintings are necessary and more are to come" Said renowned art historian Vijayakumar Menon who visited the gallery.
