BOSE KRISHNAMACHARI (1963)
Bose Krishnamachari was born in 1963 in Kerala. He studied
Diploma in Art from the Kerala Kala Peetom in Kochi (1984-1985).
Following that he studied BFA at the
Sir J.J. School of Art in Mumbai (1986-1991) and then studied
for Master in Visual Arts from Goldsmith College in
London(1999-2000). Krishnamachari's oeuvre includes a
manipulation of photographic elements as well as vibrant,
colourful abstract spaces. While his canvases operate on a
formal level, with their spectacular combination of colour,
texture and contrasting designs, they also have a strong
intellectual basis. Influenced by the conceptual slant of much
modern British art, Krishnamachari makes us rethink the
connection between signifier and signified. His abstract
patterns embody a shifting network of signs, mischievously
evading definition and counteracting the assumption of a
singular truth. The artist lives and works in Mumbai.
