K.S. Radhakrishnan | Ram Figure | Bronze | H 13 x W 8.25 x D 8.25 inches
This golden-hued bronze sculpture by K.S. Radhakrishnan exudes elegance and fluidity through its elongated, minimalist form. The figure leans gracefully backward, with arms trailing behind and legs poised in a delicate stance, suggesting both movement and stillness. The surface retains a textured, handcrafted quality, allowing light to play across its curves and contours, enhancing its sense of vitality. Radhakrishnan’s signature style—capturing human emotion and gesture in distilled, almost ethereal forms—is evident here, transforming the piece into a poetic study of balance, grace, and presence.
Musui and Maiya—the thinly-fluted male and female bronze figures, often swaying or leaping in joy—are perhaps as well-known as their creator, K. S. Radhakrishnan.
One of the most significant contemporary sculptors, Radhakrishnan often refers to the bronze characters as his alter egos.
Born on 7 February 1956, in Kottayam, Kerala, Radhakrishnan found early inspiration in the works of his uncle, P. N. Narayanan Kutty. He joined the Kala Bhavana at Visva-Bharati University, Santiniketan, in 1974, earning his bachelor’s in 1979; he was awarded a national scholarship by the Government of India in 1978, while still a student. He also completed his masters from Santiniketan, in 1981.
Mentored by two prominent figures of modern Indian art—Ramkinkar Baij and Sarbari Roy Choudhary— Radhakrishnan has experimented with a wide variety of materials such as molten bronze, beeswax, and plaster of paris, where the tactile, physical process of working with the material is as essential as the final work. Through his iconic bronze figures, he connects to the ordinary man’s innermost quest for expressing himself or herself through the contours and figuration of the body.
