Suman Bajpai
An Artist And A Benevolent Human Being

Bengaluru based artist Gurudas Shenoy is a painter and muralist par excellence.

He is a well-known personality not only in the cultural world of Bengaluru, but also in the national and international art circles. He has held exhibitions of his work at leading art galleries in India. Shenoy’s murals form prominent landmarks in numerous centres of the corporate world. He has also executed many installations, for corporate and private institutions and residences in India and abroad.

The absence of human figures in his works is a subtle reference to the ephemeral character of man’s existence, the transience of life, in stark contrast with the remnants and relics of civilisations that survive generations.

Excerpts from an interview: How has been the journey of art for you?

I am from South Kerala, Mangluru. It is a coastal belt. I was born in the place which has on one side Arabian sea and other side has Western Ghat and rivers everywhere. It is a beautiful place, all over green paddy fields and temples.

I have been born and brought up in a place which is culturally rich and abundant with greenery. I had a very amazing childhood. My father was a well-known painter. The place called Udipi, where he has an art gallery and lot of artists used to come and stay with us. It is absolute artist’s house. I have seen art from my childhood and my initial guru was my father.
