Artist Statement:
BEYOND THE THRESHOLD: RECENT
WORKS OF SANTHANA KRISHNAN
Dr. Ashrafi S. Bhagat
Artists have defined their
choices in representing themes
for making statements about
their feelings, emotions, and
sentiments or about social,
political and cultural
realities within which they
are contextualized. One theme
with metaphorical potential of
fluidity and mobility,
orchestrating and arranging
movements is doors and
doorways. An artist who
wishes to establish his
identity through the limina or
the threshold offered by the
doors is K.R. Santhana

Thresholds or the liminal
spaces can be utterly
compelling and they exert a
powerful tug on the
sensibilities. Every artist’s
journey begins with a call to
adventure, which can be
breathtaking, serendipitous,
watershed moment in which she
or he recognizes a liminal
space, and steps across the
threshold into another realm.
The encounter with liminal
spaces is required in order to
survive, to grow and be
creative. Liminal spaces
allow one to step out of the
ordinary world for a while,
and into the rich realm of the
archetypal, the strange and
the creative. And this is
effectively and productively
interpolated by Santhana
Krishnan
Interfacing with the metaphor
of the threshold, the artist
has been articulating his
expressions ...
