Hyderabad based artist Hanumantha Rao Devulapalli believes that simple means of communication are usually the most effective and as an artist, he always strives to keep his art form simple yet effective. The entire process of his artistic expressions are like an exploration into a deep musing, a journey through ethereal melodies in search of an element of joy, a light that brings out celestial peace and happiness.
Excerpts from an interview: Did you always know you would become an artist?
One of my fondest memories of early childhood is capturing exact caricatures of my classmates, and decorating labels on my books. I was particularly good at capturing the emotions of my subjects. As I grew, the passion towards art grew in many folds and varied forms. In my second year of graduation, I secured a job in Eenadu as an artist. Later on, I moved to advertising and it was a long, successful and a satisfying career option. Over all those years, as my career shaped-up, my art evolved from cartoons to portraits to abstracts. In 2001, I quit advertising and switched to being a full-time artist!
You’ve always favoured geometric form in your painting. Do you think that the use of simple geometric forms served the purpose of being an artist?
Yes, I possibly did have a special affinity towards Geometry since my childhood. Even the layouts I designed for advertisements and magazines were always well balanced in terms of space/volume divisions, treating them like compositions with Solids and Voids.
I believe simple means of communication is usually the most effective; as an artist, I always keep my art form simple and effective. As long as the interaction between a work of art, and the viewer is complete, I think the purpose of my art is served.
