Kalyan S. Rathore
Kalyan started his career designing Industrial products. His keen interest in evolutionary biology and geometry drew him to seek to express art-forms later in his career.
With an investigative approach to forms in nature, he likes to break down shapes into their building blocks and repetitive cells. This process, he states ‘is as though getting to understand the DNA of things’.
Inseparable from DNA is the idea of evolutionary design. Espousing the philosophies of Design, Art, Nature and evolution Kalyan has a way of seeing the order of geometry in everything. Exploring these underlying patterns of Natural elements is art to him.
Recognition
One of his sculptures won the Guinness World Record (Largest photograph sculpture). He attributes this achievement to an ingenious design breakthrough inspired by nature.
Work
Seeking the key to chaos is in Order. Can this order be harnessed and explained? The answers may lie in nature. Where nature chooses Geometry as a guiding template to render herself. I seek to find the common elements in every form; from an Atom to the Universe. In flora and fauna this seeming waywardness is apparent.
On deeper inspection strict mathematical principles seem to govern the recipe for growth, structure and aesthetics. Geometry it appears is the solution nature turns to in order to negotiate and optimize resources.
The sculptor in me wants to pin down a ‘minimum fundamental form’ that applies itself by replicating and changing at the same time.
Although I am not an expert in advanced mathematics or quantum mechanics, I believe that this novice standpoint is an advantage rather than a limitation in my context.
It helps me in understanding the ‘lowest denominator’ of the abstract and to represent it as physical form in my work.
