Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran
Untitled figure 12, 2016
Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran plays upon the symbolic and transformative qualities of clay to create iconoclastic sculptures that push the boundaries of figurative sculpture and the ceramic medium. Combining Hindu and Christian symbolism with the subversive imagery of internet memes, his distinctive characters act as avatars through which to explore gender and eroticism, religion and popular culture, exoticism and outsider aesthetics.
