Karuna Sukka (Telugu: కరుణ సుక్క;[1] born 20 November 1980) is an Indian printmaker and painter from Telangana State who works with large-scale wood-cuts to make prints.[2]

Early life and background[edit]

Karuna was born in Hyderabad and has a bachelor's degree in painting from P.S.T University, a master's degree in print making from the University of Hyderabad and a Master's in Museology from M.S University of Baroda. She has participated in numerous group shows and solo shows and has been the recipient of various awards and scholarships. These include the National Merit scholarship from the Ministry of Culture, HRD, Government of India, 2007; A.P. State award for graphics, P.S.T University, Hyderabad, 2007; 77th All India Exhibition, AIFACS, New Delhi, 2005; All India Art Exhibition, Hyderabad Art Society 2004; All India Art Exhibition, South Central Zonal Cultural Centre, Nagpur, 2002 [3]

Career[edit]

Karuna’s drawings, etchings and woodcuts are autobiographical anecdotes, which conglomerate sharing and bearing the space within the considerably tight compositions. The worked out vast figurative portions appears to be seizing a delusive feeling as the artist depicts the emotional attachments to materialistic world and contradictions with social realities.

At times, the figures conceived as metaphors for nature, culture or life oscillating within the peripheries of real and fantastic realms. Her style includes an interplay of visual narrative and skillful renderings that are adroitly transposed on printable surfaces. The burly lines and the flamboyant hues surge onto the print area and the inadvertent textures produce energies reflecting tremendous qualities of the artistic temperament. Eventually, the repressed ideas of the ‘unconscious mind’ are reverberated and rejuvenated with the use of affluent personal visual language as she makes a humble exertion in carving and devising her creative impulses and stimulating the viewer's frame of mind.[4][5]
