Sanket Viramgami
Sanket Viramgami employs the techniques of miniature painting and Kantha art. He earned his BVA and MVA in Painting from M S University, Baroda in 2011 and 2013, respectively. Sanket Viramgami's current series of paintings are infused with a romantic eclecticism, representing a postmodern tapestry of contemporary times. The anachronistic promiscuity operates on multiple levels, visible not only in the juxtaposition of subjects from various periods but also in the blending of different aesthetic idioms and techniques. One can discern the fusion of artistic conventions from miniaturist traditions, notably the Persian school, with elements from traditional Indian crafts like Kantha and what seems to be the Gond visual language.
 
His canvases are adorned with tales from the folk stories of 20th-century Gujarati social-reformer and poet Jhaverchand Meghani, overlaid with modern-day counterparts. These visual excerpts, ranging from mythical to realistic, coexist on the same plane, reflecting a historical consciousness that offers a stereoscopic vision of our present intertwined with memories of the past.
