Siddhartha Kararwal

Siddhartha Kararwal is an artist whose work is deeply rooted in the exploration of creative simplicity and the everyday. Fascinated by the elementary aspects of creativity, Siddhartha finds inspiration in objects that are often overlooked or considered mundane. His artistic journey has led him to engage with children’s toys, action figures, jigsaw puzzles, and kinetic sculptures—elements that he sees as gateways to a heightened, exaggerated form of reality, which he terms the “super-real.”

In this super-real zone, Siddhartha’s work transcends ordinary perceptions, elevating familiar objects to a level where reality is intensified to a loud, sarcastic, and almost maniacal state. These objects become tools through which he interprets and responds to the world around him, providing a unique lens on the intersection of the ordinary and the extraordinary.

Siddhartha’s practice is characterized by its embrace of the unnoticed, the accidental, and the everyday. He views his role as an artist as one that allows for the incorporation of these elements into his work, creating a dialogue between the mundane and the imaginative. By recontextualizing the ordinary, he challenges traditional notions of reality, encouraging viewers to see the familiar in a new and unexpected light.

Through this creative approach, Siddhartha strives to connect deeply with the essence of daily life, offering a fresh perspective on the world around us. His work is a testament to the power of art to transform the ordinary into something extraordinary, and to provoke a thoughtful response to the realities we often take for granted.
