Rajinder Tiku

Well-known sculptor, Koshur Samachar

Shaman Family and village gods are sculptures in Terracotta and wood: These have been visualised and modelled, with local tradition in mind. Local tradition which is simple, down to earth and aimed at generating sacred around very ordinary things and shapes which surround us. Human figure and its various simplifications and applications has been the concern of all the traditions. This is just an attempt in continuation of that tradition.
