[Framing the Artist] Documenting the Village: Art, Joy and the Everyday with Kandi Narsimlu
A self-made artist, Kandi Narsimlu has a keen eye for the often missed nuances of human emotion and expression.

Having come up in life the hard way, he has a very grounded approach to art and gives the folk and rural themes of his paintings a decidedly contemporary touch. From rural landscapes to locals, Kandi Narsimlu displays a delicate style of showing the expressions, clothes, jewelry, and lifestyle of his subjects.
