Tea Party

  Oil Color on Canvas

The imagery in this painting references 'The Last Supper' by Leonardo da Vinci. However, this is where the comparison ends. Damodar's painting depicts a tea party, where the doyens of the Telugu Cinema are engaging with each other and enjoying themselves. Actors from different eras are placed in the same visual frame. They are seated at the table, sharing a common platform to indicate that all of these actors are integral to the history of Telugu cinema.
