R. Balasubramanian was born and brought up in Chennai. He has been working in the field of contemporary modes of painting and printmaking since 1990. According to the artists his works are an attempt to establish the reality that art forms a bridge between spirituality and science; which means a material manifestation of an interface between the realization of ‘truth’ and the guidance to objective practices. It is also an attempt to bring out certain fundamental and true scientific concepts with an understanding that when the fundamental scientific concepts are deeply explored, the technological and skillful parts of the same are only by products.

Kind of Works:

The key substance in the works, though containing different ways and means of skillful application of technological expertise, the quality of materials so handled as to enhance the projection of concept, when the underlying concept would become predominant. In other words, the material nature of the constituents has been treated to get submerged into the concept. Such a process is experimental and innovative so as to make a humble attempt to revamp the way of expressing any abstract concept.

As a whole the display would be in such a way that, the vagaries of material forms enhance them in skill and the multidimensional skills enhance themselves in the fundamental concepts. That is to indicate that when the innumerable technologies being the by products of fundamental scientific theories in the course of scientific advancements; in the same way, fundamental scientific theories are also the by products of most fundamental concepts in search of truth.

It could be understood from his artworks, descriptions and stimulations that the ‘purpose’ of the artworks is to eliminate the gap between the ‘human society’ and ‘nature’; and for this, the whole of human society becomes the ‘positioning’ of the artist.
