KG Subramanyan

Statement

Born in 1924, in Tamil Nadu, India, K.G. Subramanyan grew up in a culturally vibrant environment that was deeply influenced by Indian Art and Mythology. He initially pursued an undergraduate degree in Economics from the Presidency College, Chennai. However, his true calling for art led him to join Santiniketan where he studied under the tutelage of Nandalal Bose, Binode Behari Mukherjee and Ramkinker Baji. 

His artistic style draws from Indian Folk Art, Classical Sculptures, along with the narratives depicted in Indian Miniature paintings creating a unique visual vocabulary. His work across mediums such as paintings, drawings, murals and terracotta relief sculptures sees modern themes, depicting everyday life, social commentaries and mythological narratives. This fusion of old and new showcased his ability to bridge the gap between tradition and modernity.
