About the artist
G Raman is a Chennai-based painter associated with the Cholamandal school of South Indian art, known for reworking traditional Indian design into a modern idiom. His paintings are built from intricate linework and ornate, lace-like patterning, often set against dark backgrounds that make the detail stand out.
His subjects lean heavily on Hindu mythology and South Indian figures, though he has also worked with Christian imagery. Raman has held solo exhibitions in Chennai and shown internationally, with works held in collections including the Birla Academy of Arts (Kolkata), the National Gallery of Modern Art (New Delhi), and the Hyderabad Museum.
