Visual
artist working in printmaking, illustration, photography and film
making exploring the sense of energy within linear drawing form.
Pradeep Mahadeshwar is also interested in the relationship between
the world we live in and the symbols and mythologies created by past civilisations.
Although from Mumbai, he currently lives and works in Dublin, Ireland.
Over to the artist himself:
“As
a printmaker I use linear drawing on hard ground metal plates to
create my images. Removing the hard ground from the burned plate
surface with a sharp point and then immersing the ‘unwanted’
metal surface into acid. My approach to my work is to form a symbolic
representation of this process as similar to daily human actions, for
example: we intake food but our body throws away the unwanted
substances. I am also exploring the old technique of map painting by
filling some parts of the prints with natural colors.
I
use the camera to collect images for my research. Through my work I
have tried to reflect on how human efforts to achieve a healthy and
safe livelihood has changed the course of our surrounding world, both
visible and hidden. My work is a symbol of our existence, which is
entirely dependent on the tolerance, and adaptability, of nature.”
