K.S. Radhakrishnan
“Bahuroopi 1” is a testament to K.S. Radhakrishnan’s mastery, seamlessly fusing traditional craftsmanship with modern sensibilities. As a figurative sculptor, Radhakrishnan stands out by his unwavering dedication to age-old methods such as modeling and bronze casting. This intricate work revolves around Musui, the central figure, gracefully embodying a range of aerial postures that evoke both serenity and movement. Inspired by the artist’s childhood memories and Kolkata’s vibrant street performances, the piece explores the profound relationship between devotees and the divine. Maiya and Musui, the recurrent figures in Radhakrishnan’s art, symbolize anima-animus archetypes, celebrated for their joyful, lithely fluted bronze forms. Radhakrishnan’s sculptures, which often depict extraordinary bodily movements, offer a deeply sensuous exploration of human experience, inviting viewers to ponder life’s intricate tapestry.
