Satish Gujral Artworks

Satish Gujral was an acclaimed artist, sculptor, writer and architect. He famously renounced all European influences and developed a style rooted in the Indian identity. A trailblazer for modernism in India, his outstanding work has inspired generations of future artists. He studied at the famous JJ School of Art in Bosgay. It was during India’s struggle for Independence that he saw mass violence and bloodshed which had a deep and profound impact on him. This has developed the definitive Satish Gujral paintings- Partition.

         His life turned around in 1952, when he won a scholarship for an apprenticeship under renowned Mexican Muralists, Diego Rivera and David Sequeiros. He had a fire within him to develop a new artistic style which reflected India and its traditions. It was here that he learned his signature strong and sweeping brushwork which is a recognisable characteristic of his work to this day.

          Gujral paintings represent struggle and the anger he felt due to the needless suffering. Satish Gujral’s artworks are truly patriotic in the sense that they reject all colonial influences while building a footing for Indian artists to create their unique identity in Independent India. Marked by strong free brushwork in his paintings, his body of work including satish Gujral sculpture are a must have for any art connoisseur. Adding Satish Gujral paintings to your collection will add a touch of modernist styles to it.
