Personal Statement
|
|
|
Raviram may not be able to express his thoughts in words, but he brings them alive on welded copper sheet and brass sheet and wires have classic touch about them and bring to life the various deities and animal and bird figures he sculpts.
Special mention must be made of his recent foray into almost three-dimensional sheet sculptures, which have a very strong original quality about them. One of the main concerns of the young artist in India today is to integrate his western experience gathered via the media, travel, life-style etc. with his formidable and ancient fast. V.R.Raviram is one such young sculptor.
Born in Chennai in 1973, self-taught Copper and Brass sheet Sculptor, trained and worked under his uncle Late Sri, P.V.Janakiraman who attained considerable eminence as Sculptor, and who was better known for his works in contemporary Indian Sculptor.
Combining a love of craft and mythological legacy sculptor Raviram brings religious allegories in his creations. He is among intriguing and potentially significant artists in the last decade from Southern India. Raviram seeks to investigate and explicit the relationship between his emotions and the medium of communication he employs. He is a perfectionist in media and his works do not set out to prove or state any thing. They have nothing to do with intellectuality of any kind. They are only a means of receiving emotions, and seem to convey a subtle musical feeling creating a meditative mood. Through the elaborate crafting Raviram lends an apparent indigenous character to his sculpture.
Above all Raviram is a person who hears with his mind and speaks through his hands; as God the supreme sculptor as designed him to be!!!
