		Thota Tharani [1949] Responding to music with its innuendos and diminuendos Tharani’s brush performs on the stage of his canvas to represent a recital of poetic, melodious and meditative colours accompanied and juxtaposed by lines that have their own singing decibels deciphered in their thickness or thinness. The reverberating tingling diminishing decibels of certain instrumental notes like that of the final strike on the drums find their significance in the bubbly champagned dots as they fly on the canvas. This translation and transformation of an abstraction as
music to a visual language that is equally abstract marks Tharani for his poetic, elegiac, sensitive and calibrated fluidity. A brilliant colourist his colour combinations and juxtapositions are both mood sensitive and equally lyrical, mellifluous and dramatic. The variations of notes are expressed through colour. They begin as ripple of lines, lines convert to colours, colour appropriates space, space gets contained within frame and then the chips start flying. The emblematic representations are converted to rippling swinging, dancing, and rhythmic fluid sauntering lines or to formally structured colour areas or to tingling dots as they informally cohabit to string a garland of musical notes.
