INDIA--- The four stalwarts of the Madras Movement, S. Nandagopal, K. Muralidharan, C. Douglas and Rm. Palaniappan, showcase the fruition of their long artistic journey at a group show. “As a group, we just gel together,” says sculptor S. Nandagopal. Their personalities are as different as their signature styles, and that, says K. Muralidharan, is why the group has value. “Our work is distinctive, but there’s a common thread running through it all.” In this exhibition, a definite common thread is the size of the works; each artist has contributed an eye-catching large-scale work, six, seven or nine feet across, accompanied by other smaller, more delicate works. The other commonality is in content, but it’s subtle, spinning a gossamer fine web of connections across the gallery space. [link]
