about

 

Lakshmi Madhavan is an independent, contemporary artist residing in Mumbai. She has been drawing, painting and colouring, since she can remember. Art was her escape as a child and this childhood passion was brought to the forefront a few years ago after Lakshmi gave up her successful marketing career to pursue art.

 

She recently concluded her training under the German artist, Bernhard Martin at the Summer Academy in Salzburg.  She is also mentored by the Indian contemporary artist, Jitish Kallat in Mumbai. She assisted him with the production and planning of his first career retrospective “Here After Here” curated by Catherine David. Another stint with the French artist Nicolas Menard at the Louvre in Paris, helped her understand the varied perspectives around the representation of the human body through the ages.
