Between Nature and Humanity

The fearlessness that reflects in artist GR Iranna's experimental mediums creates a deep aesthetic which elevates the canvas into a third dimension

Being from an agrarian family, artist GR Iranna finds himself communicating with nature and seeing it as his guide. There is a certain silent conversation which translates in the work, between his surroundings and humanity, or one can say, the mortal and the immortal. This connection to spirituality blossoms in his works, translating itself into his paintings and sculpture. His recent work on show as part of Gallery Ragini's Expanding Horizons-Ek Aur Duniya curated by Ina Puri, talks of the same metaphor. The 55-year-old artist says, "The Silent Portrait captures the memories of childhood and the spirituality which always stays with you as you grow. The work touches many areas, giving the innocent voiceless a voice."
