G. Raman is a former professor at the Madras Government School of Arts & Crafts, the oldest art school in India. Although a strong example of South Indian semi-figurative painting, Raman’s work is less traditional than it seems.
The Noble Sage collection
– G. Raman Raman is known to embed into the patterned background symbols denoting imagined people and places. The Noble Sage has the largest collection of paper and canvas paintings by G. Raman in the UK. Raman canvas paintings start at £800. Take a look at our online gallery for works currently in the collection – www.thenoblesage.com
