..my working process is a kind of extraction system, that draws on tiny concerns about uber urbanization, frenzied globalization and the visual/virtual stimulation therein, and folds and unfolds them into another reality to simplify their characteristics and relationships in order to build a new visual experience that is clear and vivid.
Murali Cheeroth
Murali Cheeroth have exhibited in over 75 significant shows across the globe in the last two decades of his art practice. Among his collectors are many institutions, museums and private art collectors. Though mainly he works on paintings and new media now, he had worked in the past extensively on printmaking and theatre. His visual cultures refer deeply to a wide variety of sources in the cultural sphere and contain within them a deep conversation with history of representation in visual media-- fine art of course- but also cinema, music and above all Architecture.
He is current explorations include the Architecture of the city, urbanization and urban cultures, explored within the history of visual representation mentioned above. Especially he is looking closely at the idea of re-construction; infrastructure; technology, speed and change; intersections of local and the global, multiple layers of urban identities and so on. Murali’s each work is located and hence needs to be understood within these larger thematic explorations both in social sciences and in visual art media.
He has taught in CEPT- Ahmedabad, Kanoria Centre for Art- Ahmedabad, National Institute of Fashion Technology –Bangalore and Chennai. His engagement with these broad range of institutions is readable from his conceptual and figurative concerns.
His art education include BFA and MFA from Shantinikethan, West Bengal and advanced computer diploma in digital media.
