K.S. Radhakrishnan

Acquired directly from the artist, Delhi, 2000

Gifted to the present owner, Denmark, 2000

This striking bronze sculpture forms a brilliant example of Radhakrishnan’s extraordinary ability to transform solid bronze into an expression of lightness and fluidity. In Untitled, a congregation of slender, acrobatic figures rise from a cubic base, their bodies pulled skyward. Some appear to float or climb over the edge with an almost impossible weightlessness. Together, the figures evoke both aspiration and supplication, their outstretched limbs forming an organic, tree-like canopy. The structure becomes a potent metaphor for journey, displacement and communal solidarity, all central themes in the artist’s oeuvre.
