B. Kiran Kumari's address becomes the title of her show. 280, Bhavaninagar dismantles the cliches of the sacrosanct idea and imagery attached to a popular pilgrim zone such as Tirupathi. With due respect to the Gods, she takes stock of life around her residence. The buzz of life in this hectic township is as good as any metro. The skywards rising apartments are not an usual sight upon its horizon. Hence, the artist religiously studies the metamorphoses of a landscape in the morning, noon and night. Like the impressionists who struggled to capture light and colour, Kumari performs the exercise of discovering those shifting colors changing characters as time and light play around the objects she paints. The lamppost becomes a subject of study for this painter. Emanating various hues or sometimes inviting insects towards its warmth, Kumari is dealing with structures/objects whose character is forever building. Interestingly the artist harbors no obsession for her subjects but a good curiosity reflects in her works which nicely translates into an interesting imagery. Busting all sorts of preconceived notions of the region, its elements and even the essence, Kiran Kumari offers an earthy yet an intellectual visual vocabulary, which overlaps but still holds all her works together. From powerful expressionistic strokes to measured soft applications the artist proves her versatility of techniques and craftsmanship
