Gurmeet Marwah

New Delhi, Delhi

Gurmeet Marwah was born (1984) in New Delhi. He completed his BFA in Painting (2009) followed by MFA in Printmaking from the College of Art, New Delhi (2011). His works are based on narratives at two levels - the personal and the societal. The images are sarcastic expressions that have their origin in deeply felt emotions. The heart, the crown, the jars, the soda bottles, the donkey, the owl, and the cow are amongst the various symbols that he presents in his works. The series depicts examples of human behavior and interactions as satire, using animals as metaphors. He works in different mediums like charcoal, acrylic, oil, watercolour, lithograph, etching, linocut, and his personal favorite - woodcut. The usage of colour, especially red, makes the central idea of the art works even more salient. Gurmeet has held several group and solo shows. The artist lives and works in New Delhi.
