Place: SPACES (No. 1 Elliot's Beach Road, Besant Nagar)
Matter is the Matter documents conversations between Viswanadhan and other artists of various backgrounds. This film explores Viswanadhan's paintings, films, life history and also his perspective on different aspects of art.
About Viswanadhan:
The painter from Kerala looks at his work as an individual journey and an exploration. Though his early work is figurative, he evolved to experiment with abstract and geometric forms. In the late 1960s, Viswanadhan, inspired by geometrical ritualistic-magical diagrams of his native Kerala, explored the visual language inherent in them. The theme returns in his work time and again, with gradual evolution of form and color. His later works used Indian ink to create large, horizontal formats and smaller square drawings. In his Paris years, he innovated with styles, sometimes mixing watercolors and oils. Not only an artist, Viswanadhan turned filmmaker with his series on the elements: Sand, Water, Fire and Air.
He lives and works in Paris and Cholamandal Artist's Village in Chennai.
