By Nature's Force: Veli Vetridamakha Nagarkirathu - A Solo Show by Vijay Pichumani

From a young age, Vijay has found solace and inspiration in nature. His early interactions with the natural environment left an indelible mark on his psyche. These early experiences filled with childhood wonder and curiosity; continue to shape his artistic vision. The large format of his work offers an immersive experience, drawing viewers into a world where the sounds of birds and animals seem
almost audible.

The artist adeptly captures the concept of movement and change through bold lines and textured interplays to evoke transitions and transformations. Each piece draws inspiration from his personal anecdotes and intimate encounters with nature, which offer insights into the social and cultural fabric of his surroundings.

From intricate leaf patterns to dynamic flight of birds, and from majestic mountains to the silent strength of trees, Vijay employs diverse techniques that fill his work with a tangible and multidimensional quality. The use of natural materials and earthy colour palettes further emphasizes the organic essence of his creations.

This exhibition provokes contemplation on memory, movement, and nature's enduring influence. Metaphors intricately woven into the artworks invite viewers to delve into deeper meanings and connections, fostering a dialogue about identity, tradition, and the human experience within their community.
