RM Palaniappan, Untitled, Water colour on paper, 30×22 ins, 2007
Palaniappan Rm (1957) is a leading and internationally acclaimed graphic artist from the southern part of India who lives and works in Chennai.
His contribution to graphics as a medium is widely explored throughout his art, with references to the realm of sciences, with particular emphasis on engineering subjects such as astrophysics and aeronautics. Fascinated by the concept of numbers, finite as well as infinite, static as well as mobile, Palaniappan focuses on the experience of the interaction of space, time and environment.
His latest work involves the viewer in a dialogue between the dominant graphic lines and their surrounding environment.

The series, entitled “The Ultimate Reality” will be on view at the Air Gallery, 32 Dover Street (tel: 020 74091255), from the 21st – 26th May.
