Velu Viswanadhan

Inspired by geometrical ritualistic-magical diagrams of his native Kerala, Velu explores the visual language inherent in them with a gradual evolution of form and color. Viswanadhan draws with a particularly arresting technique. The outline is drawn with thick stamping ink, and then oil paint is applied with a brush and the work washed with turpentine. The transparent and thin paint reveals the geometric forms.
