UNIVERSE BIDRI ARTWORK BY PRADEEP KUMAR
Origin: India
Materials: Sterling silver inlay on an alloy of copper and zinc
Description:

Pradeep Kumar D M is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice merges Lambani folk
traditions with contemporary art. Trained in fine arts, his work draws from his
nomadic heritage, blending tribal embroidery, drawing, and found materials like
terracotta tiles and gourds. Through this, he creates layered narratives that explore
ecology, labor, and cultural identity.

His visual language balances craft and concept - folk stitches meet fine line drawings, everyday symbols coexist with mythical forms. Kumar’s work has been exhibited widely, from Auroville to the Bhopal Biennale, and reflects a conversation between rural tradition and contemporary global discourse.
