SOLO EXHIBITIONS
"V. N. Jyothi Basu – Portraits and Landscapes on Paper", Galerie Mirchandani +
Steinruecke, Mumbai in 2018.
Jyothi Basu, one of the most accomplished Indian artists, was born in 1960 in Kerala. He studied at the College of Fine Arts, Kerala in the 1980s, during which time he was affiliated with the Indian Radical Painters and Sculptors Association, a movement aimed to revolutionize modern art practices and techniques in India in the later 1980’s. Upon completing his studies at the The Maharaja Sayajirao University Baroda in Gujarat in 1991, Jyothi Basu decided against pursuing a career in art and worked instead as a set designer for television channels. Returning to painting in 1998, Jyothi Basu began to explore the themes of death and resurrection. The resulting paintings, such as the iconic 'Resurrection' series of the late 1990s, depict fantastic landscapes rendered in vivid colours. Jyothi Basu has continued to create paintings that exist in an ambiguous time.
