NATARAJ SHARMA
Born 1958 in Mysore, India.
Lives and works between Baroda and Goa.
Strongly influenced by socio-political happenings worldwide and his own migrations, Sharma’s art reflects a multiplicity of influences, not just in its content but also in its form. The artist moves swiftly and convincingly between figure studies, portraits, and landscapes in oil and acrylic on canvas, as well as large-scale installations. His recent work explores urban landscapes and industrial geometry, playing and teasing the forms they take, stretching their boundaries, and depicting civilization through empty factories and battered machines.
