Meet Your Artist : PR Satheesh
Born in Bison Valley, near Munnar, and into the realities of farmland conflict and the stirring wilderness, artist PR Satheesh draws heavily from his intimate relationship with nature. His family's decision to shift to a cardamom plantation, away from familiar faces, impacted him to an extent that it gave rise to his unique, free-flowing artistic language and stark visualizations. His use of medium ranges from natural pigments to watercolors, experiments in sculpture with wood and more recently large canvases with oil paints.
Now, Satheesh balances his time between the city and the hills. These contrasting experiences of anonymity amongst the city crowds, and familiarity in the quiet of his village, reflect in the layered visuals that compose his work.
