This art exhibition at DakshinaChitra tells stories on environmental decay through a non-linear narrative

Environmental decay and degradation find expression in the Fragments of Earth and Life art exhibition at DakshinaChitra displaying Murali Sivaramakrishnan’s body of work. Each artwork is a subtle expression of the space that exists between earth and life. Murali emphasises that the degradation of the planet is a reality that looks us at the eye.

Previous works of the artist like Touch of Earth and Belonging to Earth have also used bold strokes and earthy tones to depict the earth’s active degradation. However, in this exhibit, the artist has focused on the interconnectedness of earth and life and “the synthesis of life forms”. “Earth is a living thing and what I try to represent is the animate nature of Earth”, he says.
