Siraj Saxena
Siraj Saxena did his BFA in 1996 from the Govt. of Arts, Indore.
One could call his works landscapes of a certain kind. Except that the land that is scaped is more an aspect of an inner geography, rather than an external location. There is no representation, though there are leaves, shapes, points, dark areas, and patches of colour. The familiar recedes and the wholly unfamiliar is not allowed to surface.
Siraj has had several solo exhibitions in Ahmedabad, Delhi, Chandigarh and Indore, and participated in group shows around India and Japan. His paintings are a part of the collections of the Gallery Kyo-E-Gama, Japan, Gangcey, Srilanka, and many collectors from Australia, France, New Zealand, etc.
