K. G. Subramanyan

K.G. Subramanyan spent his 80s teaching students in Baroda how to paint with toy blocks, because, he’d say, “rules are for classrooms, not studios.” The artist’s later paintings, like Chinnamasta (1991), mix folklore with bold colors, turning myth into something playful and strange. You’ll find his work next to the folk-art shelves in Gallery Tiles, where the bright lines and bold shapes feel like a festival you can step into.
