Publication Information
Itinerant Mythologies: Surendran Nair is a monographic publication that documents a significant body of work by Surendran Nair. Published by Sakshi Gallery, Mumbai, the book brings together reproductions of paintings and works on paper alongside critical texts that contextualise the artist’s practice. The publication traces Nair’s sustained engagement with mythological imagery, narrative structures, and symbolic forms, presenting these as recurring and evolving elements within his work. The selected images span multiple phases of his career, offering insight into his visual language and the thematic continuities that run through it. Rather than functioning as a chronological survey, the catalogue foregrounds the movement of ideas and motifs across time, medium, and context. Frequently cited in exhibition and auction literature, Itinerant Mythologies has come to serve as an important reference publication on the artist’s work from this period. Designed as both a visual record and a reference resource, the book provides sustained access to Surendran Nair’s practice and remains relevant for collectors, researchers, and readers interested in his work.
