Ella Prakash
She was born in Bahrain. It seems like she has been painting and drawing since her first breath. Her professional art career started in the early 1982s. She has worked in various medium. Her acrylic paintings present the world as if seen through a prism, with bold colors parceled out into geometric forms that offer fleeting.Her work as a painter takes her to the figure as it moves in space. The gesture is important to her and taking out the details and trying to capture the rhythm. The lines are what she tries to achieve as she draws and feels what the pose is about.
Rajat Kanthi Dharr
At the tender age of four, he accompanied his seven year old sister to a children’s painting exhibition….only to be handed a blank sheet by the organizer(an artist herself) and some color pencil by a participants, just to keep him busy…Most innocently, he copied the canvas which the organizer had painted for the opening of the show…and when the prizes were announced, he won the second prize!...Yes, that was the day that four year old child, now called Rajat Dhar, discovered his first love, ART. And like every mother, Rajat’s mother recognized her son’s true love and became the motivating force in honing Rajat’s talent.
Ramesh Kumar
Ramesh Kumar was born in 1962 in New Delhi. He completed his Bachelor of Fine Art (Applied Art), from College of Art, New Delhi (1988) and his Master of Fine Art (Applied Art), from College of Art, New Delhi (1990).
Rohit Sharma
Rohit's work has evolved over aperiod of time with deep influence of his working in the city....as astudent at the college of art and then as an art teacher, his understanding of the nuances of life in the city are reflected in his keen sense of observation of day to day life .... which unfolds in his work which mosttend to ignore. This series brings outthe obvious understated yet always visible part of being in the city. The cows, the vehicles all with distinct identity and ...the background of the labyrinthine streets that they inhabit. This body of work brings us to face the realities of the city....which is constantly on the move. The donkey is areflection of what most people in the city would love to be .that of having ared carpet status laid outtothem ... as most inhabitants ofthe city are no less than stars ... even if it is only they who believe it.
Suchit Sahni
Suchit, in his works, invests his energies in two ways; one, he likes to live the city nostalgically and see how the city changes before his eyes even when some parts of it resist the change, leaving certain reminders of the past intact for the people to witness. Two, Suchit, as an artist, goes beyond the urges to realize the apparent instead, he wants to transcend it through imparting an intimate sense of abstraction. While the images of a tonga (horse driven carriage), scooter, old vans and cars, forts and so on stand evidence to the former stance of the artist, the distance of perception that he demands from the viewer exemplifies the abstract values that he invests in the images.
