Garden of Delight

in

Georgina Maddox covers Ramachandran's recently-held exhibition in Mumbai and writes:

'His colourful narrative of paintings have decorated the living rooms of homes and sat on auction podiums where they fetched handsome prices. Now, the veteran from Kerala is showing a large body of works that include large oils and three-dimensional sculptural forms that reflect his concerns of line and detailing...

His work is often allegorical and the densely vegetative lotus pond is one of his favourite metaphors for the matrix of life. Beautiful and decorative, this ecosystem gives birth to hybrid creatures, a goat with a woman’s head, a winged seductress or a newborn babe wrapped in the folds of a lotus-leaves....

The artist’s imagination converts fragmented moments into drawings contoured by powerful swiping lines resembling unruly motions of wind or sometimes restrains of any solid natural form. His mastery over narrating ephemeral yet engaging moments of observation into short-lived story lines turns his works into visual delights.'
