**Delhi, May 30, 2025** – Renowned artist Rm Palaniappan, former Secretary of the Lalit Kala Akademi, is captivating art enthusiasts with his new exhibition, “Finite and Infinite,” now open at Nature Morte gallery in Dhan Mill, Chattarpur. The exhibition, which opened today, offers a unique journey through abstract renditions of space, time, and human perception.
Palaniappan’s works, primarily acrylic on canvas, are a testament to his lifelong fascination with science, mathematics, and astronomy. The exhibition features intricate lines, vibrant colors, and graphic elements reminiscent of maps, grids, and aerial terrains.
“The only true reality lies in the interaction between the physical and the psychological. I aim to capture this movement in my work,” Palaniappan stated, reflecting on the themes explored in his art.
Curator Peter Nagy describes Palaniappan’s works as suggesting “life’s journey within aerial military cartographies that add geographical perspective,” while critic Sadanand Menon views them as a “neutral, non-anthropomorphic space carrying images of unnameable places and their visual representations.”
The exhibition also reveals Palaniappan’s background in printmaking, with borders marked by contrasting colors and remnants of graphic registration devices visible in the compositions.
“Finite and Infinite” promises a thought-provoking experience for art lovers, inviting them to contemplate the relationship between the finite and infinite realms of human experience.
