Kumar Ranjan born in 1978, Godda- Jharkhand belongs to a non-artist family, took to art early
on, around the same time he started to read magazines, books and articles on art.
His interest towards art grew and he wanted to paint full time. He has not studied in any art colleges or under anyone’s guidance. He is a self-taught artist. He believes that “art education has it’s limitations and every artist is in part “ self-taught.’’ Everyone should try to bring out their inner imagination through their art. A person is just taught technicalities in art colleges. Though any art college can channelize a person’s thought process, it is not the only place for standardizing any artist’s imagination power. The same can be achieved purely through love and dedication. He is not as expressive in his words as he is in his work. He reflects his feelings through his work. visual expression can be felt easily in his work.
His work is sequential most of the time. He has worked in different phases portraying different series, from A market series in miniature form. to a series depicting Empty Pots. Subsequently he preferred working on paintings of machinery and it was followed by another series of figurative work on which he has been working on for a while and continues to draw inspiration from. For this Show he is recreating his previous work. Work that revolves round his different moods and which he has enjoyed doing the most. He works Spontaneously, without any kind of pre-thinking, he just sits taking brushes and canvas in his hand and starts bringing his feelings out the way they come. He mostly prefers acrylic colors in his paintings as it dries faster.
He likes the work of several artists like Taiyab Mehta, Bhupen Khakhar, Souza etc. Kumar s work has a sincere pure, quality and each painting tells a story.
