  • ABOUT Shankar Ghosh

    Born in 1934, Shankar Ghosh is an acclaimed Indian sculptor. He studied first at the Indian Art College in 1951, and then continued at the Government College of Arts and Crafts, Calcutta from 1952 to 1957. Shankar’s works are technically superior, and each piece is imbibed with a translucent clarity and an almost ethereal quality. His sculptures are inspired by various aspects of the environment, human forms and different shapes. While they are not large in size, the sculptures appear monumental owing to their form and composition. The artist experiences sheer exhilaration while creating these masterpieces, using the complex technique of bronze casting.

    Shankar Ghosh has held over 10 solo exhibitions, the first being in 1963. He has also participated in more than 100 group exhibitions across India, including at Lalit Kala Academy (Delhi), Academy of Fine Arts (Kolkata), Birla Academy of Art and Culture (Kolkata) and All India Fine Arts and Crafts Society (Delhi). His sculptures are part of important private and institutional collections such as the National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi and Chitrakala Parishad, Bangalore.

  • ABOUT Test Page

    Born in 1965 in the small coastal town of Udupi in Karnataka, Gurudas Shenoy is an acclaimed artist with a career spanning over three decades. Having been born to senior artist G.S. Shenoy, he lived and breathed art since the day he was born, and developed a passion for the colours of nature at an early age. M.F. Husain, a close friend of his father's, was a mentor, and has hugely inspired Gurudas Shenoy's journey as an artist. He has held numerous solo exhibitions and participated in 200+ group shows at leading art galleries in India, including several at the Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai.

    Known for his abstract and vibrant cityscapes, Gurudas Shenoy graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts, M.S. University, Baroda in 1988. Shenoy’s passion for nature and its brilliant hues, and cities with their vibrancy and multitude of stories, reflects in his paintings. Dexterous use of colours, lines, light and textures, forms the crux of his stunning abstract cityscapes, capturing the dynamism of architectural spaces with their historicity. Gurudas Shenoy also revisits landscapes from the past - vast abstract terrains, with their undulating surfaces and shadows on the ground. While his medium of choice is oil on canvas, the award-winning artist has a fondness for watercolours, and after much experimentation, he has managed to create a watercolour-like lightness in his oil paintings.
