Painter and printmaker Sanjay Kumar firmly believes that art, with sensitive portrayal, can leave a positive influence on the younger generation. This is why the subject of ‘childhood’ often appears in his work, as he depicts stories that encourage creative thinking. “In the process, I provide thoughtful solutions to the current problems of society. The stories come from our history and mythology, and the art helps us to look at these with a new perspective,” says Kumar, who works extensively on lithographs. Assistant Professor of Fine Arts in the Visual Art Department at MD University, Rohtak, he is inspired by nature.
On the invitation of the Chandigarh Lalit Kala Akademi, Kumar was in the city to exhibit his latest series of works in the exhibition titled “Vestiges of Memory on Stone”.
