K G Babu India, b. 1970

K.G Babu’s artworks portray themes around identity, memory, and culture contemplating the layered complexities of our coexistence with the environment. His works are more of propositions inviting viewers to engage with the themes of community and sustainability highlighting the human condition, climate crises, and environmental degradation. His compositions are vivid, capturing activities and elements of his immediate surroundings imbued with a nostalgic reflection on the nature he experienced during his childhood, evoking a sense of its loss. The human figures in Babu’s works are rarely solitary; they are entangled with their environments, revealing a vision of inter-connectedness, where the boundaries between the individual and the ecology dissolve. 

 

K.G. Babu is a self-taught artist based in Kerala, India. His works have been exhibited in the USA, Sweden, China, and various parts of India. Babu has exhibited in Väsby Art Galler Sweden (2021); Boxheart Gallery, Pittsburgh, USA (2015), Busan International Artshow, South Korea (2014) and The 55th National Exhibition (2014) New Delhi.
