Madras (Chennai) holds significant importance in abstraction across various mediums, with contributions from every artist, although not necessarily specific. Madras established the groundwork for artists to explore primitive and original expressions in non-representational art (பிரதிநிதித்துவமற்றது).

G. Gurunathan is a renowned abstract painter, and his transition to constructive abstraction holds great significance and Genuine shift for the region and its culture. He draws inspiration from the daily environment of Chennai. His non-representational works stylize the people, culture, landscape, and industrialization of Madras. The artist maintains a protective distance from industrialization and conveys his empathy towards his daily environment. The materials he selects for his complete works, such as tin and iron barrels, serve as compelling evidence of his engagement with the environment. These materials may have been overlooked by viewers at his exhibition (I assume). The interactions at the exhibition are likely to be more engaging and amusing than anticipated.
