This artwork revolves around the entrance of a home…the doors

This door sculpture is an outstanding work by artist Santhana Krishnan. Santhana works are interactive through his realistic aesthetic, exploring the concept and metaphor of the door. His works are tactile inviting the viewer to reach out to touch and feel, to be sensitive to the emotions and feelings embodied within it. This door speaks volumes. It can either be wide open inviting you in with warmth and happiness or it can be closed or hide a million secrets. A door says words that man cannot say. Some of his doors open into an interior with tulsi tharas in the inner courtyards with milk cans, kerosene lamps, wooden boxes, clothes drying …faint white numbers and letters on the doors are clues about the inhabitants of those residences. The corporation numbers, ward numbers, electricity board connection numbers. Some of his closed doors with a huge lock show faded house numbers and painted advertisements. Through this doors , the artist want to depict the lives of the people living behind these doors. The visual of his works are audible establishing that interactivity which engages the mind to create a dialogue, thus providing a spatial magic something rich and strange, extraordinary, creative and exhilarating.
