  Mixedmedia on Fiberglass

Sumanto was working as an assistant artist, under the guidance of the eminent Indian artist Padmasree K. Laxma Goud. The artist says about the legend, “It was my privilege that at a young age I got the opportunity to work under him. He has taught me so many things as a teacher and a guide. We used to discuss work and different techniques of printmaking while working together or chatting on tea. Till now the discussion continues and I am learning from him every day”. Sumanto has been working on the landscape of Hyderabad for the last 10 years. He has experienced many changes in the cityscape both demolitions and construction and tried to amalgamate them to recreate his composition. Figurative drawings came later in his work. The new venture of the artist is to work more on architectural details. To elaborate on his thought process he has launched a 3d paper house showing all the details in it. The medium was not at all a barrier for him. Sculptures, prints, mix media all are included in his realm. His sculptural works, the Autos, cows, the heads, the vintage cars are the elements.
