Chennai-based Kumaresan Selvaraj’s latest solo is a satirical take on memories and the environment
Selvaraj uses portions of invitation cards that are discarded, which end up in waste paper markets. It helps him buy paper cheap for his colourful sculptural artworks
Whenever hunger pangs come knocking, Chennai-based artist Kumaresan Selvaraj arms himself with two utensils and heads to his favourite food joints. He packs his food not in plastic containers but in the bowls he’s brought with him. It comes as no surprise then to see how this environmentally conscious artist finds delight in making his artworks with paper sourced from waste paper markets. Take for instance, his series Number of Layers on My Surface, where thousands of colourful papers stacked together, have been sliced into two large circular discs, much like two co-joined planets.
