This is not the first solo show of works by artist Hari, the sales of which will go for a social cause. The present show, titled Tempera, at a five star hotel is his 67th exhibition which is passionately dedicated for the betterment of society and its inhabitants. The artist tells more, “Couple of my recent shows were to support ‘Netra Vidyalaya’, a school and college for the visually impaired and part of the Jeeyar Educational Trust, and yet another one to support NTR Model schools. The present show is devoted to creating a monetary fund to support and strengthen the infrastructure of Devnar Blind School for children in the city. I am very happy that through my love for painting I am able to make a difference at organisations where funds are indispensably required for smooth functioning.”

Hari accomplished his academic studies in painting from J.J. School of Fine Arts, Mumbai and JNTU College, Hyderabad. The present series of his works have been rendered in tempera style of painting (where the artist uses knife and acrylic paints as the medium to portray abstract art). The themes of his mostly figurative paintings amalgamate myriad images picked up from nature, surroundings, mythological tales, human figures and many more. When asked about his preference to experiment and render in varied styles and not stick to a single genre, he explains, “More than establishing my personal connotation, my objective is to create a work that appeals to the art lovers and buyers and contributes to increase the fund accumulation. So I try my best to create multiple styles, subjects and compositions.”
