How: Parthan is an inter­media artist, working with traditional media of painting as well as digital technology based installation art. He employs arcane symbols, found imagery, as well as contemporary photographic materials that are woven together to create paintings which reveal a dense multi-layered landscape. Gopikrishna's oil paintings appear as though they were pages from a book of fairytales.

In his surrealistic canvas, one can witness the ordinary and the impossible, unity and solitude, illumination and darkness. Raghava KK is a multi­disciplinary artist, who works in genres as disparate as painting, film, installation, multimedia, iPad Art and performance.

His work conceptually grapples with the construct of identity, gender and sexuality, and the absence of interpersonal context in today's world of online identity performance. Chittrovanu Mazumdar's works are composed of bold brushstrokes, elements of collage, abstract spaces and layered figurative imagery. His raw, almost expressionistic, canvases create a powerful emotional response.
