Vivek Vilasini (b.1964, India) trained as a Marine Radio Officer and was pursuing a degree in Political Science from Kerala University before turning to art, ultimately studying sculpture and art practices from traditional Indian craftspeople. 


Vilasini’s paintings, sculptures, photographs and other mixed media works speak of contemporary society; of the way in which ideas influence identities – of the continuous connection and re-negotiation between these ideas and identities. His interest is in how these ideas and identities take new form and derive different meanings as they move through different settings.
