"THE DEVOTION"
ANTHROPOMORPHOSIS
OIL ON CANVAS
ASOK PUTIYAN (2001)
                     Asok Putiyan believes that a true creator should absorb the thirst of the society for novel evolution through a socio-aesthetic process. Architecture can be counted as applied art evolved from the emotions and aspirations of the society, then only does the creator positively contribute to the progress of civilization. He feels that it is the duty of the architect to link past to the future and thus he wishes to be a catalyst in the endless phenomenon of history.

His first series of paintings: THE INDIANSCAPES

                     The past, that narrates the distilled formation of cultural ethos, culminates in the struggles in the Indian main land. Systems of social life regenerate new form that doesn't signify the end of stress and strain. Aspirations and dreams end up in endless myth and customs, these in turn are manifested again and again, but the reality is always elusive. Emotions thus pictured are images that brush up the truth around the Indians.
                     The wounded concept of indigenous aesthetics is in search for a revival. The history, that narrates a flow of immensely rich civilization through the varied physical and cultural manifestations. The inevitable inversion of culture in modern times shocks the root of the existing cultural and the indigenous identity of the modernity is the question towards the artist who dwells on Indian aesthetics.
His second series of paintings: EVOLUTIONS

                     Metamorphosis of man and his living environment places him into new physical and metaphysical forms each time. The passage of the primitive man to the civilized man is an unending process of evolution that depicts the transition of every faculty and activity.

His third series of paintings: PSYCHOMORPHOSIS

                     Perception of information and knowledge makes man a cognizing animal that can collect; process and store information and programmer activities based on the information attained. He adapted to his surroundings; socio environmental conditions and performed with his co-existers. His mellowing years helped into cope with new ranges of experience. His inner self displayed clourful imaginations, beyond the vocabularies of any language. ‘Psychomorphosis' is an attempt to translate these visions on canvas.

His forth series (sculpture): EPILITHICS

                     The saga of human existence and its transition is versified in the epics and allied literature. Epics sketch the pattern of life, governance, encounters, cultural outfits and traditions through oral or literary vocabulary. The epic characters convey the precipitation of typological characteristics of the social elite and their interactions. Narration of the social change, rhythm and progression is evident. The world of legends, folklore and myths draw from the life streams of the period, its ups and downs, heroes and heroines.
                     Here, the epilithics try to convey the lithical depiction of the epics. It shows the evolutionary hero, confrontation, fragmentation, elimination, escalation, association, independence and ecstasy. These experiences are conveyed through the sculptural compositions of burnt wood, which resembles the textured seasoned rock. Burnt wood dramatizes the effect of light, which falls upon it, and thus captures the attention of the viewer. Shadows put the sculptured volumes in a mythical state. The constitution of the composition shows the positive escalation as in the structure of an epic. The dark shadows propagate the illusion of the depth of the past and also peeps into the sanctum sanctorum of history.
