Look a bit closer!
'The River of Many Drops' embraces landscape as a collective consciousness formed through many individual perspectives, moving between the microcosm of the drop and the vastness of the river.

Anil Thambai’s works look at architecture not simply as a structure, but as a landscape of information, memory, labour and lived experience. The spaces carry traces of the objects, labour and everyday lives that have shaped them, while the act of drawing becomes a way of decoding and reconstructing what is seen. There is a movement here between the physical structure and the ways in which it is remembered, observed and experienced.

Check out Anil Thambai’s works at SRISHTI ART!
On view till October 4, 2026.

‘Homebody' delves how spaces are to be more inclusive and accommodating. An introvert architecture resists monumentalization and reduction to mere the image. It’s built from character desiring to produce rational well organized spaces that are inherently tied to the fundamental relationships. Here body of architecture deals relation of parts and by its actions and reactions of limits of physical boundaries. by @anilthambai

Homebody' by Anil Thambai

The work of art ‘Homebody series’ delves how spaces are designed to be more inclusive and accommodating. An introvert architecture resists monumentalization and reduction to mere the image. It’s built from character and contemplation, desiring to produce rational well organized spaces that are inherently tied to the fundamental relationships. Here body of architecture deals relation of parts and by its actions and reactions of limits of physical boundaries.
