“I had two choices. Either to be a musician or a painter. I had studied classical music but I found it to be limiting. Now people are breaking through and adapting elements in music. But, that’s not my case. I don’t use European elements or Post-Modernism. I wanted a personal expression which is extremely difficult in music and possible in art,” says A Ramachandran.
The artist and Padma Bhushan awardee was speaking to Express on the event of his 27-day exhibition, ‘The Mahatma and the Lotus Pond’, hosted by the Kerala Lalithakala Akademi at the Durbar Hall. The exhibition which started on Sunday will continue till October 31.
