Sivasubramaniam Kajendran (b. 1988; Mullaitivu, Sri Lanka) received a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Jaffna in 2014, and he earned his Master’s degree in Art and Design from the Beaconhouse National University (BNU) in Lahore, Pakistan. He was awarded the UNIESCO scholarship of the Madanjeet Singh Institute for South Asian Art (UMISSA). His work has been exhibited across Sri Lanka, Pakistan, India, and the U.S.
Like his visual juxtapositions of light and dark, night and day, Kajendran’s body of work is a study of dichotomies. Kajendran’s work builds upon centuries of iterations of the symbolic mother.
He currently lives and works in Sri Lanka.
