Elusive Land

Trained at the School of Art and Craft in Chennai, a brilliant draughtsman, K. M. Adimoolam was part of the Madras Art Movement of the 1970s. After completing a Diploma in Advanced Painting in 1966, he began to work on a series of black and white portraits of Mahatma Gandhi. He sketched almost a hundred drawings covering 60 years of Gandhi's life.

His works are an artist's expression of freedom of expression. Adimoolam moved to an abstract style when he started painting in oil in the 1970s.
