GR Iranna uses the idealistic, representative and modernist language of Indian contemporary art, which transcend the concept of time and space. His works are evocative of multiple meanings. In just a glance, one can tell a sense of massive dynamic energy that pervades the surfaces. Upon further inspection, one finds that these conflicts being played out on the surface are present also in those between one colour and another, between figure and hue, and between the crudeness and the expertise employed. The central metaphors in Iranna’s art enjoys metamorphosis. But through it all, the human condition remains the core of his creations. An award winning artist truly par excellence!
