Portrait of Siddharth Gadiyar
Siddharth Gadiyar is an artist of instinct. He is an extraordinary and prolific image-maker, who constructs a new work of considerable scale, each week in a three-hour supported studio session at Project Art Works. Although Siddharth’s paintings occasionally contain representational imagery, his intuitive approach is rooted in an unfettered exploration of pattern and colour, that returns time and again to his signature motif, the circle. Siddharth’s clear intention and his swift decisive action result in bold and beautiful paintings that are full of purpose and free from self-conscious restraint.

Project Art Works is a collective of neurodiverse artists and activists. Our programmes evolve through creative practice and radiate out to awareness raising in the cultural and care sectors, promoting more diverse representation in programming and relevancy for audiences. We disseminate the work of neurodivergent artists and makers through a wide range of projects, exhibitions, co-commissions, films, publications and digital platforms.
From our studio base in Hastings and in temporary studio set-ups during off-site projects and workshops, we facilitate personalised creative pathways for artists and makers. The studio spaces are without hierarchy where events and happenings unfold, and artists work together in purposeful collaboration using total communication. Gesture, sound, signing and empathy allow for more expansive and freeing forms of connection.
