One of the most exciting contemporary artists of today, Satyadheer’s work integrates vibrant contemporary aesthetics with the drama of folk tales and mythology, and the subtlety of powerful social messages. Exhibiting the manifestation of an ideal that is approachable and achievable, with the aura of the celestial, makes his depicted world equal parts majestic and relatable.

Nature, stories, and the deft touch of a true storyteller make for an eclectic coalescence of narratives in a dramatic setting. Bold contours, exaggerated figures, unbridled imagery and rich use of colours lends his works with a sense of drama, only to reveal a deeper subtext of satire and social commentary. Inspiration from midevial art blended with a modern approach and bold, linear brushwork makes his work an enthralling amalgamation of the tangible and the celestial.

The mythology element may make his works appear to be chimeric, but they possess the grandeur and relatability of much loved stories and fables. The artist’s love for literature has inspired the utopic narrative of his works.

Satyadheer obtained his BA and BFA from Allahabad University and has since then exhibited his works at multiple solo and group shows and Art Fairs. If home truly is where the heart is, then the fables and mythologies that are a part of our childhood memories are the nostalgia for home that this artist so sensitively and intelligently captures.
