Mosaic art is seeing a resurgence
The Hindu
From stained glass works in churches, to murals in public spaces and high-end wall art, mosaic art grew popular during the pandemic
A tragic incident of self-immolation at Neyyantikara in January was the springboard for Santhosh Vadakkedath’s work, Anarchy of Hope. Traditionally, mosaic art is identified with Greco-Roman murals, stained-glass Bibilical images and still-life themes. This depiction of a news item in shades of yellow, orange, red and black stood out amid other works displayed at Mosaic, a group show of six artists, at David Hall, Fort Kochi. E.M. Jospeh, who helmed the show and tutored Sajeev AT, Rajesh Thattasseri, Kunjamol, Paul George and Santhosh, says that very few in India practise mosaic art. This is because “it is exhausting and has too many technicalities”.
