Srin is a Lecturer in Printmaking and works on both the BA Fine Art and BA Graphic Design courses. Since completing his MA in Fine Art at St. Martins School of Art in 2002, he has exhibited his work primarily in London, but also across the UK and abroad. Recent projects have focused on the poetic-image as a politics of aesthetics for working with constructed notions of style or authenticity within commercial display, packaging and spatial design. These ideas have evolved through different media including print installation, painted reliefs and sculpture.

Srin’s research focuses on the intersection between print and sculpture as a notional space for thinking about forms of encounter that mediate human relationships and systems of signification. In particular the way in which pictorial motifs originally associated with Romanticism and Modernism become absorbed and embedded within the collective psyche as forms of consumption in the visual field. This has evolved in recent years into four distinct projects, which are titled:
- Modular Display Structures
- Facades for Dwelling
- Paleontologies of the Present
- Cracks on Modern Transparencies
Visual documentation of these can be found on his website: srinsurti.uk
Collectively, the projects attempt to re-think the poetic-image through forms of abstraction and resemblance to articulate ideas of co-existence in an increasingly divisive socio-political context. Srin commenced his Phd at Chelsea School of Art in 2019 to develop this research. The provisional title is: The poetics of surface relief and the aesthetics of mystery.
