Elegant and sophisticated in their crisp simplicity and strong use of negative space, Cariappa Annaiah's striking digital photographs recall the iconic works of Robert Mapplethorpe. Cariappa works with a minimalist approach, using the powerful properties of light to capture the hidden beauty of nature's everyday surroundings. Often set against a simple black or white background, Cariappa's works possess a subtle Asian aesthetic evident in his masterful use of asymmetrical balance. From the graceful curve of a crimson tomato, to the delicate lace of a flower's skeleton, Cariappa's works expose the often ignored wonders awaiting those who are careful enough to spot them. His adept photographer's eye and inquisitive spirit work together to produce works that are quietly joyful in the beauty of life.
Born and raised in India, Cariappa honed his strong aesthetic by observing his surroundings in Bangalore. An award-winning artist, Cariappa Annaiah now lives and works in Boston, Massachusetts.
