Description

Renowned artist Hemraj’s paintings reflect a quest for the very meaning of existence. He uses the trope of landscape to delve deeper into the exploratory realisms of human existence. He explores the landscapic feeling with one colour and its countless tones. Each of his paintings has its own rivers, hills, waterfalls, smell and vegetation and its own independent entity. In his paintings, melody, rhyme, rhythm and soul coalesce into a single whole.

 

A graduate of Delhi College of Art, Hemraj lives and works in Delhi. He was born on 6th June, 1968 in Delhi. As with the other artists he has shown in many group and solo shows both at home and abroad. At the India Art Fair 2014 Hemraj’s work was exhibited on a solo booth by Uday Jain from Dhoomimal Gallery. This was one of the first occasions that a contemporary Indian artist working with abstraction had exhibited as a solo project at the International event.
