CURRICULUM
VITAE
Psychologists make a direct reference to past influences reflections through
our future expressions and emotions; Manish Modi personifies this theory.
Born into a family whose business of new paper has remained the main theme
in all Manish’s paintings, its reflection is more than a statuarory
nod at – NEWS PRINT & MEDIA- weaving it schematically through the
characters he depicts.
New Paper or print media has penetrated our daily life so deeply that even
a busy schedule, we normally snatch a few moments sharing space with this
medium and using this idea Manish depicts various uses and abuses after the
basics purpose of this object is served- natural recycling!
Hailing from a small town in North Gujarat, he acquired his diploma in painting
from C N College of Fine Arts, Ahmedabad, going on further to join the faculty
of fine Arts, Varodhra - pursuing his master’s degree in painting where
his language of expression was developed. Manish certainly shows a precision
skill with his detailed works of newsprint art raising its use and abuse to
the level an artwork in progression. For this recently he received the prestigious
National Award from National Lalit Kala Academy, New Delhi.
Internationally acclaimed Manish’s recent works have been acquired by
leading museums, collectors and has shown through various international galleries.
Dubai’s Majlis Gallery has hosted an earlier evening for this prolific
painter too.
