DESCRIPTION
Santhanaraj pursued his studies at the Government College of Arts and Crafts in Chennai. One of the distinguishing characteristics of AP Santhanaraj’s artworks lies in the quality of his lines. This essential element differentiates his artistic style as he fearlessly explores and utilises it to create a distinctive visual language. It is noteworthy that the artist during the process of painting deviates from the traditional approach of placing the canvas vertically in front of him. Instead, he lays it flat on the ground enabling him to work on it from various angles. This unconventional method provides insight into the artist’s unrestricted and unconventional thought process.
