sajith puthukkalavattom: CONCEPT NOTE / SAJITH PUTHUKKALAVATTOM As an artist I have always tried to portray nature. But it is not the beauty of nature or even the immense strength of nature that inspired my paintings. But my paintings attempt to depict how human greed has destroyed the ability of nature to sustain life. We are increasingly turning this beautiful planet, perhaps the only planet in the universe that can produce and support life, into a wasteland. My works titled Hamartia try to portray how human greed destroys the habitat of countless species around us and push them into extinction and at the same time destroys our own chance to exist. I have always tried to ask the question, what the modern urbanisation has given us. Since 2003 I have been trying to raise such questions and communicate them to the common man through my paintings, without exaggeration and complexity. I've tried to maintain the same amount of political awareness I keep in my life, in my paintings also.
