Reviews

"Renuka Kesaramadu has created a series of works in which the reality of the country of Sormano and its atmosphere are depicted carefully. Take shape on her canvases do the cobbled paths, the profiles of the mountains, the houses, the church, the beautiful young women who accompanied the artist showing and explaining, in English of course, aspects and particularities of the country. A country that, despite the dominance of gray, has its aspects of preciousness that the artist emphasizes through the use of the color gold. The same country that, in one of her works, is dotted with gold and wrapped in a loved symbology of white flowers, made using crumpled tissue paper and glued on the canvas." [Translation]

- Antonella Prota Giurleo, August 9, 2009, Sormano, Italy[5]

"Modernist sources: The four mid-generation painters recently at Renaissance [Gallery] are preoccupied with different subjects whose graceful but conventional range corresponds to their somewhat old-fashioned aesthetic languages, and binds them. This perhaps can be associated with the artists’ roots in Karnataka’s provincial educational institutions. To varying degrees and in varying ways, all of them relay on the indigenized, Modernism-derived combination of abstract elements, stylized figures and patterned design. These ingredients are softer and more abstract in Renuka Kesaramadu’s dynamic evocations of human hands reaching out over distances of the globe..."

- Marta Jakimowicz, art critic and writer,[39] Deccan Herald Online, August 9, 2009, Bangalore, India[40]

"The eye theme has been successfully exploited by a Karnataka artist, Renuka Kesaramadu. It is the eye that sees, understands, starts off communication, determines human relations."

- Arkay, at the Bajaj Art Gallery, 1997, Mumbai, India[41]
