Suhas Bhujbal was born in a small village in India. He creates compositions of colorful, overlapping forms and marks to describe various architectural facades. In his practice, architecture provides a tangible scaffolding around which to construct a specific mood or narrative. Many of his paintings depict the effects of modernization and population growth in Indian cities. These congested horizons are much different from those of US cities, where urban planning codes have regulated construction and preserved open spaces. The juxtaposition of old buildings and flashy new architecture, and the whirlwind of commercial signboards, banners, and colorful stalls where merchants sell saris and spices, provide the inspirational springboard for his compositions, which create harmony out of chaos and conflict.
