Kandan g professional artist Kandan G. About my Works My last 3 decades body of works are a response to various socio-political phenomena witnessed, seen, convinced and persuaded through social media. Often, I feel that, human beings are part of larger hidden socio-political and cultural network systems. Under such social situations of a dissent is helplessness one. On the other hand, the economic dilemma binds one to negotiate between ehtico-moral ideology and survival of the fittest. When these binaries of intriguing conflicts transform towards greed results in atrocity and anarchic nation state. Where the all ideology and morale are cast shadow of the globalised neo-liberalised capitalism, idealism stands meaningless victim and false currency. As an artist, I largely address these social phenomena through motifs, metaphors and personification borrowed from various juncture of contemporary society. Largely my visual language adheres to metaphoric and symbolic representations to trigger my views of contemporary society. Quite often a dusty bull and manipulated news texts, typography and sentences from print media to enhance the effective communication potentialities of meanings. Empty chair I constantly use metaphorically to represent the chase of human greedy instincts and hegemonic longingness. Art works as a process of investigation into the myriad possibilities of anticipation towards the witnessed and being critically skeptical about it, is what curious me to explore in images and texts. The text invocated personified dusty bull in its aggressive gestures further provokes that greed which the humans look forward. Few of my works also looks into the due frustration made of human catastrophes. Some attempts also take the historical voyage by using persona of Gandhian models of idealism to invoke the repentance and caution. Kandan g
