Gurmeet Marwah was born in 1984. He earned his BFA in painting from College of Art, New Delhi in 2009 and MFA in printmaking from College of Art, New Delhi, in 2011.
Gurmeet’s artwork is based on two levels of narratives: personal and societal. The animals and objects in his art, such as the birds, monkeys, owls, balloons, soda bottles, kites, etc. are metaphors. These objects also add a pop of color to his otherwise monochromatic paintings. His paintings portray the illustrations of human behavior and interactions narrate the irony. Animals highlight the comparisons in these interactions. The artist uses an owl, as a messenger or a postman. Writers across the world have often romanticized owls, pigeons, and other birds as messengers, especially those delivering love notes. The artist has replaced the owl's clever face with a bright red heart, thus portraying it as a love envoy.
Over the years, Gurmeet has displayed his works at many national and international galleries, including the prestigious Bombay Art Society, Ravindra Bhavan, Lalit Kala Academy, New Delhi, Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai, and his alma mater College of Art, New Delhi. Gurmeet’s art is a part of many Indian and international art collections, including Lalit Suri Hospitality Group and College of Art, New Delhi.
