Artist Rehaman Patel to receive International Award from Jain University on Dec 28

Kalaburagi; based artist Rehaman Patel has been chosen for the ‘Best Creation Jury Choice Special Award’ at the India International Art Annual Exhibition organized by Jain (Deemed-to-be) University, Bengaluru.

Patel’s painting, created to raise public awareness during the COVID-19 pandemic, received recognition in this exhibition. Disturbed by the disregard shown by many people towards lockdown regulations, Patel expressed his feelings through art.

He stated that the only solution seemed to be “locking their feet,” a sentiment vividly portrayed in his artwork. Titled The Last Option, the painting depicts a pair of slippers arranged in the shape of a “V,” symbolizing victory.

This painting will be on display for three days, concluding on December 30, at the university campus.

Dr. Avinash Kate, the convener of the exhibition, announced that the award function will take place on December 28 at 11 am at Knowledgeum Academy, Jayanagar 8th Block, Bengaluru.
