Chennai (formerly known as Madras) is an ancient city, with a historic past, a vibrant present and a dynamic future. Its very name is evocative, exciting, emotional, meaning many things to many people. It conjures up images of graciousness: music, dance, literature, the intelligentsia, the philanthropists, the magnanimous patrons who have made this city the pinnacle of art and culture that it is today. Chennai is a cosmopolitan city drawing people into its charms, yet allowing them their individuality. This is reflected in the list of artists you will find in this site. The selection of artists, specializing in various media, is on the basis of the high calibre of their works. Some of these artists have come to Chennai from other parts of India, some have gone from Chennai to other cities. As a result, their artwork has a wide scope - based on the theme of city or any composition in their own idiom. A work of art is the outward manifestation of the artistic fire within. A creative work of excellence, whether a poem, a painting, a musical composition, in any language, in any medium, comes from deep within the wellsprings of an emotion, an emotion so powerful that it binds the creation with the aura of a universal language that reaches out to the audience. |
