ABOUT THE ARTIST

BV Suresh is a rather elusive artist: though always seriously engaged in art making, his solo shows are
rare. One of India's important artists Suresh works like a poet, creating intense metaphors out of
ordinary objects. His paintings, installations and videos are adventurous in scale and intent. With their
strong imagery and technical mastery, they make unambiguous statements about contemporary life,
society and politics. Suresh was born in Bangalore and studied painting at Ken School of Art in
Bangalore (1978) and completed his diploma and post-diploma at the Faculty of Fine Arts, Maharaja
Sayaji Rao University, Baroda, in 1985. He later went on to do an MA in painting at the Royal College of
Art, London, on an Inlaks Scholarship where he studied under Peter De Francia and Ken Kiff (1987). His
artistic life extends beyond studio practice into teaching, theatre design and children’s book
illustration. BV Suresh is Assistant Professor of Painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts, Maharaja Sayaji Rao
University, Baroda and lives and works in Baroda. His work has been shown in important exhibitions in 
India and internationally.
