Born 1978 the artist did his graduation from College of Art, Delhi, BFA (Applied Art) 1999 – 2003. His work has always been a study of the whole human situation. Inevitably, the images are figurative, coz that’s what we can relate to the most. The protagonist is mostly a reflection of his own self. But it also tries to make a generalized observation/statement. The issues he works on are that of the distancing of human emotions, ‘corporatisation’ of the society leading to an overall sense of increasing human insensitivity. It’s about today’s consumer-driven society in a mad rush for (short-term) material gains. It’s a clash between our filthy desire for luxury/extravagance and coming to terms with the harsh reality of inequal distibution of resources.Overall it’s a sincere effort to relish the human predicament in good humour.
He has had his solo show with Palette art galery, Delhi and several group shows some of which include 2006: Two person show at Palette art gallery,2006 :The Holi camp,Global arts village, Delhi 2005-06: Platform (magazine), Prodigy, Olive,Mehrauli, Delhi, 2005 : Eternal Recurrence: The Return:Shanghri La hotel, Delhi, 2005: Teenscapes, Gallery Artfelt, Delhi, 2005:Metrospective: Visual Representations of Metrosexuality, Kitab Mahal, Mumbai, 2005 :Navsar (Mercury rising) Visual Arts Gallery, IHC.
