Mohan Krishnan, a Chennai-born artist, celebrates Madras Week this year by capturing the essence of the city in a collage jostling with Chennai’s most iconic buildings.
As an artist and a documentary filmmaker, 60-year-old Mohan had been sketching since childhood.
Though he has not had any formal training, he had a passion to draw sketches of Chennai since childhood. “I studied contemporary art recently during the COVID-19 lockdown. During that time, I made a few oil paintings, botanical sketches, a series on steam engines and travel sketches,” he says.
