Thabendran Krishnapriya Sri Lankan, b. 1987

T. Krishnapriya’s drawings share a conglomeration of ideas based on her experiences,

memories, and anecdotes. Her meticulous lines remind us of the hand of a responsible

cartographer, yet her forms reverberate micro-biological diagrams, which she has been

fond of since her science lessons in school days. Krishnapriya develops her drawings in

an arbitrary doodling style. Her marks gradually grow into organic patterns in clusters,

accentuated by her sporadic use of transmuted colors, creating diverse regions in the

composition as in geographical maps.

 

The relationship between sensitive line drawings and amorphous forms is intuitive and

simultaneously orchestrated, resulting in an alluring play in her work.
