G. Raman
Artist
Born in 1942, G. Raman completed his diploma in Fine Arts, General Drawing (Painting), Advance Painting from Government College of Art and Craft, Chennai. He lives a quiet, contented life in the same Chennai house in which he lived as a child. He has now lived there for more than sixty years, his home doubling for the last four decades as his artist studio. Raman’s art has warranted him high regard and opinion as he has received twenty-nine awards, three of them international, and is collected widely.
Harking back to the design of traditional Indian art, Raman is interested in the purity of line and the ornate patterns of motifs and symbols that can be used to delineate form and tone. He chooses generally to depict figures and events in Hindu mythology though he has journeyed into Christian imagery, tackling subjects such as Christ with Mary Magdalene and the Prodigal Son. Raman is known also for his portraits of contemporary India, events in village settings such as we view in ‘Tambura Player’ (2009).
