The only way to stay relevant is to reinvent. Looking back, artist Baiju Parthan remembers the five years spent on un-learning and re-thinking everything that his college had taught him about art. Moving away from the academic meaning of art, Parthan then developed his signature themes surrounding shamanistic traditions. But, the evolution of the artist was far from over. If the past Parthan made acrylics on paper, then the present Parthan has been experimenting with computer technology. If his earlier art was mystical, the present takes on the illusions made by lenticular prints.

From acrylic on paper to new digital media, Baiju Parthan has seen radical changes in his artistry. Featured here, An Act of Equilibirum — The Wind made in 1991, and Chorus — 2, 3D lenticular print
