Polish painter Jakub Julian Ziolkowski (born 1980) mixes elements
of the carnivalesque, the decorative and the fantastical in his
wild cosmos of mutant humans, lumpy forms and strange circulatory
systems-as though Paul Thek had used the hand and eye of Philip
Guston to paint his sculptures. Ziolkowski belongs to a generation
of Polish artists who have erected their own personal universes as
a bulwark against realisms.

Vivan Sundaram's eclecticism is a distinctive feature of his work
and is the focus of this monograph. A pioneer of installation art
in India, Sundaram started off as a painter in the late 1960s but
his desire to break free of the limits imposed by the pictorial
frame only came to fruition in the early 1990s, when Sundaram began
making works that no longer hinged on the specificity of a medium.
This change in artistic direction coincided with his interest in
exploring the materiality of a range of substances, whether
artisanal or industrial. Sundaram's choice of materials has had a
thematic resonance in the different bodies of work that he has made
over the last twenty-five years. His practice keenly registers the
civic dimension and political import of art. History, memory, and
archive are the overarching concerns of his work. These themes
define and structure this important publication and offer an
open-ended framework for exploring the oeuvre of a highly original
artist.
