About the Artist

Akhilesh was born in Indore. His father was a teacher of art in Madhya Pradesh. He consciously resisted all attempts at becoming an artist initially but the final year of school saw his resolve weakening. He then went on to earn a Diploma in Fine Arts. Akhilesh’s paintings appear to be a collection of beginnings. But there are no ends. His work gives a feeling of being left unfinished and yet it does not seem incomplete.

It is not possible to look at it in terms of a beginning leading to an end. It is his method of translating familiar territory on to canvas that imparts an individual characteristic to his work. His paintings do not scream for attention and have little to offer to the casual, hurried viewer. But for the patient observer, they are an enriching experience. Solo show in Jehangir Art Gallery and solo show in Gallery Art & Soul, Mumbai. The artist lives and works in Bhopal.
