Synopsis Ramachandran's creative activity as a painter extends over many decades. The structure, language and colour in his works have undulated into several themes and pictorial effects during all these years. This portfolio presents a collection of his paintings from 1990-2000. This decade is represented by a synthesis of some of his favorite elements altered and redefined as the years pass by. There is also a kind of revisit to visual themes of earlier decades and their exploration to a point of completion, only to blend in with new pictorial devices which then seek their own direction. Ramachandran brings out the best in every colour, making it acquire a jewel like quality through its relationship with other colours and through its own nature.
