An artist’s talk by L.N. Tallur

L.N. Tallur is a multimedia conceptual artist who divides his time between India and South Korea. He was the winner of the 2012 Škoda prize for Indian contemporary art. His work explores the absurdities of everyday life and the anxieties of contemporary society. It incorporates the organic, hand-made craftsmanship, found objects, the industrial, and symbols of India, often correlating traditional and contemporary customs. He received a BFA in Painting from Chamarajendra Academy of Visual Arts (1996), a MFA in Museology from Maharaja Sayyajirao University (1998), and an MA in Contemporary Fine Art Practice from Leeds Metropolitan University (2002).
