City Scape

In the wake of globalisation, rapid technological and intellectual developments, practical infrastructure and profuse assimilation of gadgets into day to day life, all urban cities have been neutralised to a common form and façade. Ramakrishna brings forth the tapestry of a modern city woven together with small geometrical structures and crisscrossing lines which completely fit into one another like fragments of a jigsaw puzzle. The 'line' is continuous and prominently inspired by Indian traditional/miniature paintings. The palette is rich in vibrant hues that enlighten and enliven the cityscapes. Fragmented series of patterns of rectangular forms divide the space into innumerable sections that are closely rendered and grant a textural quality and intrinsic stirring to the space. A horizontal band which resembles balconies in high rise apartment gets mentioned along with a trial of residents. Occasionally, a vertical running series of staircase divides the composition and the intricately segmented sections are adorned with small portraits and other elements.
