About the Artist

Manish Pushkale was born in Bhopal in 1973. A trained geologist, Pushkale also studied art at the Art College in Bhopal, acquiring his Master’s degree there. Pushkale’s art is intrinsically linked with the mythological, without making overt references to the same. A subdued colour palette lends a lingering calm to his works. However, on a closer examination, the motifs and symbols in his art come to light, giving it different meanings.

Subtle brush strokes and shading create multi-layered meaning. Pushkale’s solo shows include ‘Serendipitous Encounters’ at Aicon, Palo Alto, in 2009; ‘Unveiling’ at Bodhi Art, Mumbai, in 2007; and ‘Japa’ at Bodhi Art, New Delhi, in 2006. His work has also been featured as a part of several group exhibitions including ‘Vicissitudes of the Constructed Image’ at Tangerine Art Space, Bangalore; ‘Think Small’ at Art Alive Gallery, New Delhi; ‘Entity’ at MEC Art Gallery, New Delhi; ‘Deep In Black’ at Galerie Muller and Plate, Munich, all in 2009; ‘Empty and Full’ at Aakriti Art Gallery, Kolkata; and ‘Point and Line to Plane VI’ at Gallery Beyond, Mumbai, both in 2008. Pushkale was also a recipient of the S.H. Raza Foundation Award in 2003. The artist lives and works in Delhi.
