Born in 1956 in Kottayam, Kerala, K.S. Radhakrishnan is a leading Indian sculptor who was mentored by renowned masters Ramkinkar Baij and Sarbari Roy Choudhary. He is best known for his expressive figurative sculptures in bronze, creating larger-than-life forms inspired by myth, ritual, and human emotion, often rendered with a sense of movement and lyrical vitality. Radhakrishnan is widely identified with his iconic thinly fluted bronze figures, Musui and Maiya-archetypal male and female forms that leap, sway, and dance, embodying both innocence and timeless wisdom. He has received several prestigious honours, including the Birla Academy Award, the Lalit Kala Akademi Fellowship, and the Government of India's Junior Fellowship:, and his sculptures are installed in prominent public spaces across India and internationally, including France, London, Denmark, and Chicago. The artist lives and works between New Delhi and Santiniketan, where his practice continues to explore identity, memory, and the poetic energy of the human form.
