JALLIKATTU by Artist- AV Ilango

JALLIKATTU by Artist- AV Ilango The artist captures the action and thrill of the ritual sport, energy and verve of the maleness and also the ongoing tussle within his own self. While the bull, associated as it is with the male ego, had particular influences on Ilango, at another level the bull also symbolizes the conquering of this very ego. This realm is, not surprisingly and logically, Ilango’s next step in his artistic path and journey of the self. And with this dissolution of the self, and a parallel merging of dualistic aspects of the universe are palpable in his oeuvre: space and form, – Ilango’s compositions become a self contained space of archetypal visual energy with the illusory shift of the positive and negative spaces.
