Eminent Artist, art educationist, designer, writer and philospher of Art, K. G. Subramanyan is major presence on the Indian Art Scene.

" An artist constantly turning the world around in his mind and holding it up for scrutiny invokes a solemn image.  But Subramanyan is anything but solemn. He is one of those modern artist whose serious engagement with the world does not make him forget to smile; one of them who even when he finds the world monstrously imperfect is not left bereft of humour. The saras bring out this aspect of Subramanyan's art very well because they are suffused with the delight he takes in the world."  Prof. R. Siva Kumar

Prof. R. Siva Kumar is presently Professor of Art History at Visva Bharati, Santiniketan. He has curated several important exhibitions and written extensively on Modern Indian Art.
