Multidisciplinary artist Jeganathan Ramachandram, renowned for works steeped in mystical realism, cosmic philosophy and metaphors from Indian culture, has died of a heart attack in Kuala Lumpur. He was 58.
His death was announced on his Facebook page earlier today (Feb 23).
As an artist, symbolic abstraction and deep spirituality had been the Selangor-raised Jeganathan s way of translating his innermost expressions for many years. Using an ancient method of dabbing, his paintings told stories about his roots, ideology, and often celebrated Hindu scriptures.
