Thota Vaikuntam: Art Alive Master Series is an illustrated book, the first of its kind on this much celebrated but hardly written-about artist; it attempts to tell the story of the man and his Telangana women, his encounters with destiny, which has brought him to the high pedestal where he is today. Besides his works, the book reveals the unknown facts of Vaikuntam's life and includes images of some of his rarely seen and amazing charcoal drawings and etchings, as well as a selection of his new works specially done for the retrospective at Art Alive Gallery. The book is a part of the Art Alive Masters Series and includes thoroughly researched articles and visuals featuring myriad aspects of the artist's eventful life and a few close-ups of the large and impressive body of his work.
