Dhiradj Ramsamoedj’s artworks are based on carefully
thought‐out concepts, many of which are meticulously worked
out in old textbooks. His oil and acrylic paintings, while usually
featuring ordinary people in everyday circumstances, often
include subtle symbolisms which are in fact critical commentaries
on multiple controversial issues affecting society today. His
three‐dimensional sculptures and installations are made up
of many small parts reference the fragmented make‐up of our
diverse Caribbean societies. Of these, his man‐sized Flexible
man textile sculptures and his Adjie gilas installation have
been included in several important international exhibitions.
His most recent artworks address the key social narratives and
the economic and political complexities that challenge the
sustainable growth and development of his richly diverse home
country, Suriname. Dhiradj Ramsamoedj received his formal art
education as well as his teachers training in Suriname and has
enjoyed enriching art experiences in other countries regionally
and in Europe.
