An Unfailing Striving for Perfection

A. Ramachandran blazed a solitary trail while contributing immensely to the realm of art

When the lush landscapes replete with verdant flora vanish, the creator of these, the artist A. Ramachandran (1935-2024), will remain forever in memory. In his passing away, we have lost not only a remarkable artist but also a visionary who ploughed his lonely furrow while contributing immensely to the world of art.

If in his early years, he depicted the hardships and struggles the ordinary man faced in his daily life, the vortex of despair transformed into the lyricism and grace of their existence. Ramachandran, with his voluptuous forms and brilliant colours, in later years travelled far from the angst of his earlier works but only to delve into the lustre of life.
