| A Ramachandran |
A Ramachandran is essentially a figurative painter whose point of departure is the idea, attitude towards things and people, the content of all kinds, not excluding story content.
His earlier paintings of the 1960s and 1970s such as Indian Resurrection, Encounter, The Chase, Christian Themes, Machine, Kali Puja, Nuclear Raginis and The End of Yadavas are a portrayal of the social ambiance of the time, in highly grotesque images in apocalyptic visions.

His later works of the 1980s and the early 1990’s like Yayati—a stupendous mural-like painting, measuring 7 feet by 60 feet, exhibited in 1986 at New Delhi—and his series of paintings entitled Urvashi, Pururavas and the Lotus Pond, however, are realized as universal symbols emerging from his subjective being, independent of a connection with any particular epoch of history or any socio-political situation.

These works are an expression of emotionally charged sensation. Seeking inspiration from his antecedents, the imagery from the life of a tribal society, and the stylistic element from Kerala temple murals, the outcome is a series of highly accomplished paintings depicting images of enticing and lusty females emerging from his own consciousness.
