Catalogue Note
K.S. Radhakrishnan's father was an actor and he often mentions the influence of his father's profession on his art. Aspects of dance and performance imbue Radhakrishnan's sculptures, giving them a lyrical and sensuous quality. Although the majority of his sculptures are produced using bronze, Radhakrishnan has been known to experiment with plaster of Paris and beeswax. He has commented, “For me bronze works best because it is strong, and brings out the character of my sculptures. Although it takes time, the process also becomes a part of my art form.” (P. Chaturvedi, Radhakrishnan | Sculptor of the mind, LiveMint, 4 April 2013, http://www.livemint.com/Leisure/9vHjNZDcVIMRAvtDgACELM/KS-Radhakrishnan--Sculptor-of-the-mind.html)
