“K.G. Subramanyan had a career of seventy years. This exhibition presents works from the last decade. Not comprehensively, but a particular aspect of it. The late works of artists with long careers are often characterized as a distinct category, done in a ‘late style’. However, not all long-living artists have late styles; some only have late works marked by a sense of ageing and impending death. Ageing is a biological, social, and mental phenomenon marked by decreased bodily abilities, reduced social life, and diminished cognitive power and memory.", writes curator and art historian Professor R Siva Kumar.
