- Krishnaprakash Vasant Martand, born on 11/05/1979, hails from Gulbarga, Karnataka. He was,
in March 2012, one of twelve artists from across India to partake in a four-week long residency
program at NIV Art Centre, New Delhi. The program, mentored and curated by Anoop Kamath,
culminated in an exhibition titled 'Scene (Un)Seen' at the Visual Arts Gallery, India Habitat
Centre, New Delhi.
- A few art galleries that carry his work in India are NIV Art Centre, New Delhi, Moksh Art Gallery, Mumbai, Hasta Gallery, Bangalore, Studio Palazzo, Chennai.
- He specializes in ink and paper 'line art' that features for the large part abstract, heavily
ornamented gods and goddesses drawn primarily from Indian mythology.
- Unlike the famed Surpur miniature paintings which his work has a passing resemblance to, and which he claims as a big influence, he uses clean lines in the service of a revisionist, contemporary, whimsical reimagining of the characters that dot the ancient Indian epics. His larger works, usually monochromatic, are dense and intricate and calligraphic in their treatment
