About the Item
K.S. Radhakrishnan - Maiya-2 (Wall Sculpture)
Bronze
H 20 x W 8.2 x D 6.2 inches
(Delivered)
It is a striking exploration of balance, agility, and fluid motion. The work captures a lithe female figure in an inverted pose, supported on her hands atop a cylindrical pedestal. Her legs are extended dynamically into the air, one bent and the other reaching upward, creating a lively interplay of lines and forms. The expressive face, textured surfaces, and elongated proportions add a sense of personality and vitality to the figure, making it feel both sculptural and performative. Radhakrishnan’s mastery in bronze casting brings out the energy, grace, and rhythm of the human body in motion.
K.S. Radhakrishnan working with Musui
Maiya, Musui potraits has a hand Rickshaw puller as is still prevalent in few parts of Bengal.
The bronze figures are elfin, mischievous, airy, acrobatic, and archaic, delicately balancing on one hand or leg. He renders a sensuous quality to his works by deploying extraordinary body movements of his figures.
Radhakrishnan is a distinctive and appealing presence on the modern Indian sculpture scene. He says: “For me bronze works best because it is strong, and brings out the character of my sculptures. Although it takes time, the process also becomes a part of my art form.”
Style : K.S Radhakrishnan is one of the most notable among the new generation of sculptors. Like many of his contempories he is a figurative sculptor, but his preference for modelling and bronze casting sets him apart from the rest of them. Recharging age old sculptural processes with a new sensibility, thus is the singular challenge he brings to modern Indian sculpture. And this makes him a modernist - who approaches his work with discernible ambition and considerable aplomb while steering clear of brinkmanship.
Radhakrishnan's works often drawn from the emotions and myths of the Hindu gods, such as Shiva, Kali and Radha. His sculptures are often larger than life-sized; placed in the outdoors, they evoke a superhuman atmosphere. Over the years, Radhakrishnan has experienced with alternate sculpting mediums, working in molten bronze, beeswax and Plaster of Paris.The physical process of working with the materials becomes a performance in itself. The sculpture is the product of a tactile engagement with his medium.
With celebration of sensuality as one of its running themes, his works is at once both intimate and universal in its appeal. A personal commemorative sculpture, with a scale and presence that holds well in natural settings, his work has found permanent home in a number of public collections all over the world.
