Author Description

Manish Pushkale, an autodidact, is among the most promising young painters of India. His work has a unique language of abstraction that carries his personal imprints, and has attained maturity and significance through several shifts in experimentation and experience. This bilingual (English and French) book captures Pushkale's evolution as an artist through four short essays, each by a different author who talks of their unique perspective on Pushkale's work. This volume is co-published with Akar Prakar on occasion of the exhibition Manish Pushkale, the Painter of Light, at Musée de Guéthary, France and the two-man show of SH Raza and Manish Pushkale, at Galerie Baudoin Lebon (both in 2016). Text in English and French.
