Mr. Murali Cheeroth, a visual artist by profession, possesses BFA and MFA from Shantinikethan, West Bengal, Diploma in Painting from Govt: College of Fine Arts Thrissur and Advanced computer diploma in digital media. He has exhibited in over 100 significant shows across the globe in the last two decades. His collectors include corporate institutions, museums and private art collectors. In the past, he worked extensively with printmaking and theatre, but now he primarily works on painting, video and performance. His visual works refer to a wide variety of sources in the cultural sphere and contain within them a deep conversation with the history of representation in visual media, fine art, cinema, music and architecture. Within the context of the history of visual representation, his current explorations include the architecture of the city, urbanization and urban cultures. He looks closely at the ideas of speed and change, intersections of local and the global, multiple layers of urban identities and so on. Murali situates each work within larger thematic explorations in humanities, social sciences and in visual art media. He has also taught in CEPT, Ahmedabad, Kanoria Centre for Art, Ahmedabad and National Institute of Fashion Technology, Bangalore and Chennai. His engagement with this broad range of institutions is readable from his conceptual and figurative concerns. Some of his major exhibitions include ‘passage to India’ – the New Indian Art from the Frank Cohen collection in UK (2009); Indian Art summit in New Delhi, SH contemporary Art Fair, Shanghai, Chicago Art Fair and London Art Fair in 2010, Colombo Beinnale , 2012, Chalo India – A group show of Contemporary Indian Artists at Basel Art Centre, Basel, Switzerland Feb 2014.
