R B Bhaskaran

It is in this context that his Cat series gains greater relevance. What started off as an observation from his classroom window, the cat has grown to become the centre of many of his paintings. So much so, that critics say that the feline is a representation of the artist — questioning of set boundaries and always curious of what lies beyond. To this, R B Bhaskaran artist  chooses to just smile, “A cat is a cat. Beyond the purview of a breed, there is no such thing as an Indian cat or an American cat. I sketched what I saw and started inculcating more and more of my ideas onto the canvas which finally became my image of the cat.”
