Episode 24: Celebrating Life and Spreading Joy through Art with Murugiah
In the Season 4 finale of the Art Persists podcast, we speak to multi & interdimensional artist Murugiah. We talk about his early life growing up in Wales, and his turn away from architecture to art. He discusses finding his unique style, combining bright, bold colours with surrealism and his Sri Lankan identity. We end talking about his wonderful commission for this year’s Refugee Week, and his exploration into public art. His upcoming 3D sculpture installation, Rangoli Mirrored Cosmos, will launch this month in Greenwich Peninsula.
