Fondly called ‘Batik Balaiah’, Yasala, who passed away in December 2020 was known for his vibrant recreations of stories on Telangana rural life in batik. Explaining his fascination with batik, Prakash says, “Batik is unique in that it uses dye-resistant wax to create different patterns and designs.” Prakash’s last show was in 2018 at the ICCR Art Gallery. The results might come later but perseverance and commitment to art are what matters.” ‘Reflections of Telangana on batik is on at Ravindra Bharati till February 14.
