The immediacy of the
medium, the lushness of colour, the sensuality of
expression makes Murali, a singular voice in
contemporary Indian art.
Born and raised in
Kerala, Murali’s visual iconography is
symptomatic of the local and the global. Embedded
in his native land, Kerala, Murali through his
painting transports us into his personal and
internal landscapes.
Working quietly and
tirelessly for the last two decades, it became
increasingly important for Murali to be seen in
New Delhi.
Anita Nair’s text
adds that extra insight into the landscape of
Murali’s expression. Ravi Shankar the acerbic
and witty cartoonist opens yet another domain of
interpretation.
Within the Indian
context Kerala has its own complexities and
dynamism, which then becomes the fast forward
engine of creativity and Murali, a traveler in
this creative journey.
