A modified Braille typewriter sits atop a dark wooden table, its mechanical arm moving with rhythmic persistence. It incessantly strikes a sheet of paper, producing the single word ‘love’ over and over. This repetitive motion transforms a profound human emotion into a mechanical, mindless production. The device operates with a clinical precision that strips the sentiment of its spontaneity, reducing it to a series of tactile, repetitive strikes.
A steel dinosaur fornicating with a Jaguar car. This is the work that took centre stage in Sudarshan Shetty’s 2006 exhibition Love. In this installation, Shetty makes use of two iconic symbols: the fibreglass cast of a 1972Jaguar car which is the symbol of luxury, and a relic from the past, a dinosaur, made of steel plates.The willing car has its rear cranked up, and the dinosaur has an exaggeratedly…
In Sudershan Shetty’s Eight Corners of the World series, domestic furniture and objects turn into surreal organs leaking blood or milk.

It appears as though their flesh has withered away while they were at play and hence, they have become fossilized for posterity – a monument of love, perhaps? Even though the creatures share minimal contact there is intimacy in the representation of…
Over the years, the Taj Mahal has become an icon of immortal love. This is a work, composed of rows of miniature steel Taj Mahals which function as bricks that create a huge wall – a visual obstruction. Sudarshan Shetty asks us to consider what the making of a cultural icon does to the object that is iconicized. The monumental wall is composed of hundreds of souvenir Taj Mahals. In…
Sudarshan Shetty’s Love shows a Braille typewriter incessantly typing the word ‘love’ on a sheet of paper. The repetitive production of the word, ‘love’ directs our attention to the mindless reproduction of the text in our daily life. As Shetty says, ‘Love begins with a basic human emotion, and at the other end of the spectrum it’s also a marketable phenomenon.’1 Using a Brailler to type the text, Shetty uses…

He doesn't adhere to a single style but rather employs various approaches depending on the concept he wishes to convey.
