S. Harshavardhana

Born in 1958 S. harshavardhana left the corporate world to take up painting full time. His father, Jagdish Swaminathan, was an acclaimed artist.
Deeply influenced by tribal art and symbols, Harsha Vardhana, a self-taught artist displays his vast creative vocabulary in his heavily textured but simply coloured compositions. Harshavardhana creates abstract geometrical forms inverted triangular structures are constructed within carefully demarcated areas of colour, which violently cut into one another some blend in while others create obvious scars, bringing a distinctive character to the art.
