Survival of the brutest
In Survival of the Brutest, Raveendran Valpad uses acrylics to create a profound and vivid commentary on the degradation of humanity in modern society. This work goes beyond mere visuality and strikes at the moral core of our collective consciousness. At first glance, it captivates with its chaotic yet harmonious interplay of bold strokes, vivid shades, and shadowy figures, revealing a raw and unflinching portrayal of social decay.
Ravindran’s thematic exploration of the wasted potential of youth in the abyss of alcohol and drugs speaks to the growing crisis of hopelessness. His brushstrokes are at once aggressive and melancholy.
