Alamu Kumaresan graduated Masters from Madras University, Government
College of Fine Arts 2007, lives and works in Chennai. Having been an art
facilitator has provided an intensive work experience with young minds and the
travel has given the space for self-observation and reflection of the self
which slowly drove into taking up art as a full time engagement. Alamu says Art has been a tool that gives me the will to take up the path towards
my own being from where my expression of love and gratitude for people and
nature springs. I believe in creating my works that transcends the viewer from his fast moving
mind to a more tranquil, observing and aware state which creates a soothing
effect and acts as a mirror to see the moment as what is and to reflect one's
inner nature in totality. I interpret nature through its many varied forms and intricacies of
which texture entices me the most and I feel a great sense of fulfilment when
my works finds expression through it. Thus my works are in the form of intricate patterns and textures woven
with fabric, thread, yarn, embroidery and paint. The materials I work with are
very close to me and I find it very free flowing and therapeutic when I use
them to convey my observations of people I am inspired by, their nature, the
background which beholds the life around them.
