RESTLESS & RELENTLESS

Eminent artist, printmaker, art critic and columnist, C. S. Krishna Setty says his inner being urges him to reveal E suppressed and unexpressed feelings. He says, "They have to come out, otherwise it'll become intolerable. And I am most comfortable with visual art, so that means paper, canvas, colours..." Setty, whose work titled "Veteran Series 1" at a Bengaluru Art Gallery gives out a sense of restless, yet focused drive for self exploration and artistic evangelism, says as human beings, we are different from other species and we need to express our thoughts. "Being part of this beautiful and curious world, I have my own experiences and feelings, which need to be expressed," says the ex-chairman of Lalit Kala Akademi.

The artist, who was also the founder president of Drushya Kala Sahitya Parishad, an organisation formed to encourage art writing in Karnataka, is a postgraduate in Kannada literature from Mysore University. "Basically, I am a painter; but due to some compulsions I took up art criticism and became a columnist for several years.
