Brief Description

Sarangan's work reflects an abstraction that stems from morphed forms strung together within rural Indian motifs. While the image of the cow, or bull can be found in his work, it is the glass like surface that he creates that immediately captures the eye. His colouring varies in rich hues, reflecting a oeuvre that ranges from painting to other art forms.

The symbology of Sarangan's art also resembles a pre-historic image making style, with shapeless forms, patterning created in space.
