Kamalakannan

Singapore

Kamalakannan, born in 1980 in Malaysia, is now a Singaporean and embodies the essence of art brut. Primarily working with oil paints, he finds music integral to his creative process. Kamal’s approach to art is conceptual; he seeks to capture the idea of an object rather than its physical form, allowing viewers to interpret it in their own ways while preserving the core essence.

Through this method, Kamalakannan maintains his artistic integrity, navigating the interplay of power between the artist, the audience, and the ideals of fine art. His work is a testament to the fluidity and depth of artistic expression.
