One of the most collected Indian artists, 1935-born A. Ramachandran is known for two distinct styles of work during his over five decades of artistic career, one characterised by politics and anger, and the second by colour, life and nature. His styles and work come together in an upcoming retrospective.
Slated to open at the National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA) here on Friday, the extensive exhibition "A. Ramachandran: 50 Years of Art Practice" will present over 260 works of the Kerala-born artist done between 1968 and 2019.
Supported by the Vadehra Art Gallery and conceptualised by R. Siva Kumar, it will feature mural-size paintings, sculptural installations and single piece works, etchings, watercolours, drawings and illustrated books, the NGMA said.
