MALAYALAM
Multifaceted artist
K. KUNHIKRISHNAN
THE ART OF NEMOM PUSHPARAJ SUUSHMASATHYATHINTE MUGDHADARSANAM - Study: P. Gopakumar; Olive Publications Pvt. Ltd., East Nadakkavu, Kozhikode-673011. Rs. 150.
THIS IS an unusual book and probably one of the first of its kind, carrying the reproductions of artworks with commentaries by the editor and studies by eminent people connected with arts and crafts.
The artist Nemom Pushparaj is a very highly accomplished painter in different media like water colour, oil, poster, and graphics, illustrator, creator of terracotta and bronze sculptures, film art director and an award-winning film director.
His contributions to art are very highly rated by artists and the art direction of many films won him laurels. His paintings represent a synthesis of both western and traditional native schools and delve deep into Indian epics and classics, with multidimensional and labyrinthine approaches. They are surrealistic and symbolic.
The hues, tones and colours of the images bring out the excellence of his works and the responses of a highly sensitive artist to contemporary life, which is rampant with power mongers and irresponsibility to aesthetic and ethical values.
The book is a real profile of a multifaceted artist.
