KP Pradeepkumar
KP Pradeepkumar (b. 1970, Kozhikode, Kerala) is an independent visual artist who has been working between Kochi and Delhi for the past several years. His practice is rooted in a deep spiritual connection with nature. His contemplative engagement with the visual image of earthly nature is infused with a sense of reverence, where the consciousness of the natural world resonates profoundly within him. This relationship informs his unique worldview—one where the divine universe and the philosophy of non-dualism seamlessly converge. Pradeepkumar perceives nature as a living entity, a perspective that underpins every aspect of his creative process. For him, the visual image transcends its physical dimension to become a vessel for spiritual reflection. His artistic journey is marked by an aesopian tendency—layered, symbolic, and introspective—with a commitment to exploring the inner self through visual means. He views the act of creation as an extension of inner consciousness, transforming both the creator and the viewer. The artist, in his view, becomes a conduit for the divine will—a universal force that manifests not only in the self but in anyone who resonates with the essence of the artwork. His ongoing series, The river flowing through me…, serves as an autobiographical landscape—simultaneously psychological, environmental, metaphysical, and historical—reflecting the fluid continuity between inner and outer worlds. Pradeep completed his Bachelors of Fine Arts in Sculpture from College of Fine Arts, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala (1993), and Masters of Fine Arts in Creative Practice at the TransArt Institute, New York (2015). He has been working and exhibiting in and out of the country and has received many awards for his artistic pursuits. His recent exhibitions include India Art Fair with Art Centrix Space, New Delhi (2024); ‘The River Flowing Through Me’, solo exhibition at Art Centrix Space, New Delhi (2023); ‘BRINK’ (2022); ‘The Present & the Absentee Maker’ (2020); ‘Con Tempus | With Time’ (2019); ‘Arikamedu’ (2018) and ‘Nature | Deliberated’ in April (2018) at Art Centrix Space, New Delhi; India Art Fair with Art Centrix Space, New Delhi (2023, 2020 and 2019); ‘Whose Memoir? Whose Archive? An Empirical Survey’, Kalakriti Art Gallery, Hyderabad (2023); ‘Gods own country’, Apparao Galleries, Chennai (2022); ‘Lokame Tharavadu’ curated by Bose Krishnamachari, Alappuzha, Kerala (2021) among others. He has also had several solo shows at various galleries like ‘Improbable Suburban’ at Gallery OED, Kochi, Kerala (2018); ‘Wood of Suicides’, BC Gallery, Kochi, Kerala (2016), ‘Transfiguration’, David Hall, Fort Kochi, Kerala (2011) among others.
