This event is part of Tree of Life — an exhibition held at Mystik River Gallery from August 30 to November 2.
Meet K.G. Narendrababu, acclaimed South Indian artist, as he shares his journey, inspirations, and vibrant works with Melbourne art lovers.
Born in the sacred temple town of Kanchipuram, Narendrababu draws upon India’s rich cultural heritage — its temple architecture, textile traditions, and folk art — to create multi-layered reflections on the sacred relationship between nature and the spiritual world. His distinctive style blends the imagery of Hindu folklore with elements of modern Indian life, weaving together people, animals, and symbolic motifs in vivid compositions that transcend time and perspective.
In this special conversation, hear first-hand about the stories behind Tree of Life, and discover the influences that have shaped his artistic voice.
This is a rare opportunity to engage with the artist, ask questions about his process and inspirations, and gain deeper insight into the universal themes that make his work resonate across cultures.
