ABOUT THE ARTIST

A self-taught artist, A.V. Ilango debuted on the art scene in 1973, after completing his master's in mathematics from the University of Bengaluru. Inspired by his childhood memories in Gobichettipalayam, the artist vividly recalled the harvest, fairs, and festivals resonating with folk songs, music, and dance, the beating of drums and the tinkling of ankle bells, the musicians and ochre dancers enlivening the crowd with leaps and whirls in ecstasy. These were some of the images he captured on his early canvases. He also drew inspiration from the architectural and sculptural splendors of the temples of Madurai, folk dances like Karagam, Kavadi, and Oyilattam, and later from Odissi in the Utsav series, which was a pure celebration of dance.

 

The artist thinks that his way of conceptualizing, as a mathematician, has contributed a lot to his artistic research. He values the linear quality of his work and the development of a concept and a motif. In addition to the human figure, the artist has devoted himself to capturing the essence of cattle in painting and sculpture. According to him, cows and bulls form the very language of the primitive, popular, and classical arts of India. He continues to experiment with space, form, and line and moves towards capturing movement with abstract expressions.

 

The artist lives and works in Chennai.
