Manu Parekh

Manu Parekh (b.1939) was born in Gujarat and studied drawing and painting at the Sir J.J. School of Art, Mumbai.

Critically acclaimed for his use of line, colour and form, Parekh combines abstraction and figuration to address spirituality, sexuality, human suffering, and lived experience. He has been honoured with the President of India's Silver Plaque and the All India Fine Arts and Crafts Society Award, the Lalit Kala Akademi National Award, and the Padma Shri.

A towering figure in Indian art, Manu Parekh lives and works in New Delhi.
