KS Radhakrishnan is an acclaimed contemporary sculptor whose sculptures are exclusively executed in the medium of bronze. His intervention in the revival of the figurative tradition in Indian sculptural parlance, with an emphasis on the body, has been acknowledged as a significant art historical milestone. Trained under modernists like Ramkinkar Baij and Sarbari Roy Choudhury, Radhakrishnan has developed an inimitable style which emphasises fluid, dynamic, extraordinary body types using two characters Musui and Maiya.

Contents: 1. Publisher’s Note. 2. Foreword by Director, NGMA, Bengaluru. 3. Mapping the World with Human Figures by R Sivakumar. 4. Biographical Profile.
