Ramkumar Kannadasan is a sculptor and interdisciplinary artist based in Chennai, India. Working with a variety of processes including, drawings, stone, metals, wood, terracotta, and ceramics, his projects take shape through knowledge, skill, and rigor in working with materials and manipulation to create form.
Ramkumar Kannadasan has intricately woven the essence of tranquillity and familial connection into his stunning ceramic creations. Drawing inspiration from the serene landscapes where elephants roam freely, Kannadasan's work centres around the peaceful repose of a sleeping elephant family in the wild capturing the profound beauty of these majestic creatures in their natural habitat.
Each ceramic piece is a testament to the artist's commitment to conveying the spiritual and transcendent aspects of life, as he invites viewers to immerse themselves in the tranquil experience of witnessing elephants at rest, surrounded by the love and security of their family bonds. In a world often filled with chaos, Kannadasan's artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the profound serenity that can be found in the simple yet profound act of being with one's kin in the embrace of nature.
