Truth in hyperreality

New Indian Express  

Ramkrishna is also a painter who reads and writes poetry. He uses Kabir’s Sandhya Bhasha — often known as upside-down language due to its use of paradoxical and coded meanings — to create a sense of intrigue. Power and satire The artist’s works question the “hollow promises” of power structures and “performative” aspects of new media, that are overshadowing objectivity. While Ramkrishna spotlights the menace of curated lives, fake news, and cultural propaganda — he uses humour and satire like “sugar” for bitter pills. It shows a dead man being part of his own post-death rites which exposes the hypocrisy of society.” In the series ‘Carriers’, he blends art with theatrics by excessively using props.
