SH Raza
SH Raza
SH Raza, one of the original founders of the Progressive Artist’s Group, is one of the most prominent Indian artists. He has shaped the face of Modernism in India with his unique vision and style. His work has formalism as well as the mystic aspects of Hindu philosophy. Raza’s style has evolved over the years. Initially concentrating on expressionist landscapes, it was in the late 70s that his focus turned to pure geometrical forms. His images are improvisations on an essential theme: that of the mapping out of a metaphorical space in the mind. The circle or ‘Bindu’ has become more of an icon, sacred in its symbolism, and placing his work in an Indian context.
Raza was conferred the Padma Shree Award in 1981, Padma Bhushan Award in 2007 and the Padma Vibhushan in 2013. The Indian art world lost this legendary artist in 2016.
