NEK CHAND SAINI
1924-2015 (INDIA)
BIOGRAPHY
The Indian figurative sculptor, recycler and landscape architect, Nek Chand Saini's informal art environment in India, encompassing two square miles of walkways and populated assemblies, is known as the Rock Garden of Chandigarh.
Despite an immeasurably high attendance of over 10,000 daily, its recently-deceased creator never regarded himself as an artist. Nor did he see the unauthorised land-grab which formed the basis of his monumental artwork as a political gesture. Yet its radical organic form and content remains a playful contrast to the concrete structures and modernist city-plan designed by that disruptive visionary architect, Le Corbusier.
