Event DetailsKynkyny Art presents Travelling Doors, a richly textured, visually breathtaking show featuring the art works of well-known artist Santhana Krishnan. Krishnan’s mixed media works showcase a delightful relic of south Indian heritage – the traditional doorway. Vibrantly-painted, beautifully crafted, heavy wooden double doors typically flank the entrances of village homes in the heart of Tamil Nadu. These quaint doorways, embellished with the carvings of motley Hindu gods and goddesses, colourful stained glass tiles and ornate brass handles and knobs, are much more than physical structures which keep homes safe and secure. In the Chennai-based artist’s latest series, doors play the role of documenters, witnesses, metaphors and muses. Travelling Doors takes a nostalgic, vicarious and heartwarming trip down the enchanting bylanes of temple town Kumbakonam, where the artist grew up, studied art and fell in love with the idea of doors.
