ARTIST PROFILE

Sheetal Gulhati

I am a 36 year old New Delhi-based artist. Since my childhood, I have demonstrated a natural artistic ability but did not pursue it professionally until recently. I kept my interest alive by learning new techniques while I was a homemaker and it is only in the last 5 years that I have been pursuing art professionally.

Since my return to my original passion, I have done fairly well in this hard to crack art world. I established a studio where I experiment with messy techniques like mixed media mosaics, mixed media collage, acrylic skins, plaster sculptures etc. I appreciate the large space I have now which is a lot better than working in one small corner of my bedroom.  

I originally focussed on mosaics and glass paintings and executed art projects for Hewitt Associates, Gurgaon 2005 and Axiss Dental Delhi/ Gurgaon in 2006 and MediMedia India as well as A E Morgan publications in 2007 and 2008.

I designed and hand crafted mosaic accessories and murals for interiors and exhibited the same at various Diwali and Teej Melas in New Delhi from 2007 to 2009.

As a contemporary artist I work with mixed media collage and acrylics, acrylic skin assemblage, textures and mosaics with my base being canvas, acrylic sheet and ply board . Still life being my favourite style involving the European Baroque interiors of the 17^th and 18^th centuries. The ornate detailing gives me great scope to experiment with my various art techniques.

As an artist my recent group exhibitions include:

Confluence 12 by Galerie Art Eterne, Lalit Kala Academy - New Delhi, 2012

Renge Kaleidoscope by Renge Art, Club Aralias - Gurgoan, March 2013

Colours of Freedom by Renge Art, Club Aralias - Gurgaan, August 2013

My True Calling by Renge Art, Club Aralias - Gurgaon, September 2013.

I have also carried out 2 very successful solo exhibitions at my Studio in Saket, New Delhi
