In our current issue, Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran talks to T Australia about critics, conservatives and the religious figures he draws on ahead of his appearance at Vivid Sydney. A ceramic and mixed-media artist, Nithiyendran, 33, has captured international attention with his vivacious reflections on ideological and politicised figures. His works have been exhibited at the National Gallery of Australia, the Art Gallery of NSW, Hobart’s Dark Mofo festival and Jhaveri Contemporary in Mumbai, where he recently held his first solo show in South Asia.
