Mangalore, February 8: In memory of art Guru late BG Mahammad, Sapna Noronha, a city based artist will organise a painting exhibition “Tribute to BG Mahammad” in association with Karavali Chithra Kalavidara Chavadi Mangalore at Prasad Art Gallery here on Friday, February 11 at 4.30 pm.

Addressing the media persons at Press Club here on Tuesday, Ganesh Somayaji, senior artist said that BG Mahammad who died two years ago at the age of 89, was a great artist cum teacher. He never used to criticize any students but tried to bring them around to a different way of looking at things. He had described his approach like “Let the paint do the work by moving it around until something happens feel good,” and never said “That's finished” as there was always something else to be discovered. Hence, Mahammad never aimed to achieve a pre-determined end result.

Sapna Noronha, who is also the student of Mahammad said that her Guru Mahammad used to paint with an emphasis tone rather than just a line.

About 20 paintings of Sapna Noronha will be exhibited on the occasion.

Dr Narendra Kamath, Skin Specialist, Sanath Kumar Shetty, Architect, SKS Group Partner, SS Nayak, Charted Accountant and Shabbir Ali, artist and son of BG Mahammad will be the guests on the occasion.

Artistes Dinesh Holla and Koti Prasad were present at the press meet.
