Philadelphia-based Patrick Connors, a lecturer at Yale University and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts among several others, is also an artist. Combining his skill and knowledge of arts, Connors gave an interesting talk on Ravi Varma’s paintings vis-à-vis the technical specifications. While steering clear of mythology and the significance of Ravi Varma’s paintings, a fact that he said was best left to authorities on that subject, Connors delighted the viewers with his interesting talk. He dwelt on technique behind the paintings, the play of light, creating a shadow notably Chiaroscuro which deals with the strong contrasts of light and dark in art/painting. It gave an interesting insight into the workings of an artist’s mind to create three-dimensional objects and figures.
