Udaiyan

Udaiyan or D.Udaiyan is the founder of the Cambridge Stuckists,[1] a branch of the Stuckists art movement. He lives and works in Cambridge, UK.

His main medium is painting, and his work deals with the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Guattari.[2] He cites that his art is figurative, conceptual and abstract – i.e. it is Fabtual and that he is an exponent of Fabtualism.[3] His paintings are widely collected[4] and he now concentrates on charitable and philanthropic endeavours.[5][6][7]

His work has been discussed, criticized and analyzed in The Guardian newspaper,[8][9] Polish Newsweek[10] and Spoonfed magazine.[11]
