An exhibition of a 15 year old  Kerala school girl’s  solo paintings will be showcased in New Delhi. Varsha Renjith, a class 10 student, has a tryst with Paint brush.  She can create an incredible tapestry of colours and emotions on the canvas, – a fact that has allowed her to brush shoulders with the likes of legend and Padmashree Anjolie Ela Menon
Varsha who has just completed class X is showcasing 40 select paintings in her solo exhibition “Raindrops” at the Lalit Kala Akademi here that was inaugurated by Anjolie Ela Menon.
“Varsha has got a distinct accent when she uses colours. Some her compositions are very strong, not expected from a girl of her age. She proves that she has arrived,” says Menon.
“This exhibition reminds me of my first exhibition which I conducted in Delhi, in 1958. I was also 15 years like Varsha. M F Husain inaugurated the show.
I am very optimistic about Varsha’s future” added Menon. The current exhibition is the young artist’s seventh solo exhibition in the India and the first in Delhi.
“Varsha has a keen sense of observation, fine details of life around her do not escape her attention. These experiences are translated on to the canvas in terms of colour” says Manisha Patil, professor of Art History at Sir J J School of Art, Mumbai.
The 40 exhibited works are inspired by nature and the artist employs a vivid and energetic colour palette with consummate ease, building up intriguing textural areas in the process, layered with multiple meaning
