Creative Director – Blur The Border

Sanket Viramgami

Recipient of the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Award (2017), the Sanskriti Kala Puraskar National Award (2017), and the Jeram Patel Award (2011), Sanket Viramgami is a Gujarat-born artist (b. 1988), currently based in Baroda, whose paintings unfold as dense, immersive worlds—at once intimate and expansive. Stepping in front of a Sanket Viramgami painting feels like entering a carefully stitched landscape populated by figures who appear mid-thought, mid-gesture, mid-journey. Human and animal forms move through richly detailed terrains enveloped in foliage—walking, resting, conversing, simply existing. These scenes do not announce a single narrative. Instead, they hold multiple moments at once, allowing time to bend and overlap within a single pictorial plane. One of the most recognisable features of Viramgami’s work is this interplay between landscape and figuration. His canvases often read as panoramic spaces where scale shifts subtly and perspectives collapse. Seventeenth-century courtly figures might share space with contemporary presences, not as historical quotation but as lived coexistence. The result is a visual language that mirrors memory itself—nonlinear, layered, and crowded—where past and present are held together without hierarchy. What makes Viramgami’s practice particularly compelling is the way density becomes a form of invitation. His paintings do not reveal themselves all at once. Meaning accumulates slowly, through repeated looking, as motifs recur and migrate across the surface. Pattern, ornament, and imagery are built through meticulous layering, creating compositions that are both intricate and immersive. His visual vocabulary draws from a wide range of sources without settling into pastiche. References to Persian miniature painting sit alongside Indian craft traditions such as Kantha, while elements reminiscent of Gond visual language appear woven into the pictorial field. These influences are absorbed rather than quoted, forming a surface that feels richly textured and rhythmically alive. His colour palette shifts between earthy, grounded tones and heightened, almost theatrical hues, lending the works a mood that oscillates between romance and unease. Underlying this visual abundance is a worldview shaped by Viramgami’s own movement between rural and urban contexts. Themes of mythology, folklore, personal memory, and quiet political undertones recur throughout his work, not as declarations but as atmospheres. Landscapes appear familiar yet slightly estranged, reflecting changing environments and evolving ways of living. The figures within them seem suspended—aware of history, yet firmly situated in the present. Viramgami earned his Bachelor of Visual Arts (2011) and Master of Visual Arts (2013) in Painting from the Faculty of Fine Arts, Maharaja Sayajirao University, Baroda. This academic grounding is evident in his assured handling of composition and surface, as well as in the disciplined way his paintings balance excess with control. Over the years, his work has been shown across significant national and international platforms, including India Art Fair (2026), Art Dubai (2025), and Delhi Contemporary Art Week (2025), all with LATITUDE 28, New Delhi, marking the steady evolution of his practice within the contemporary art circuit. Within the landscape of contemporary Indian painting, Sanket Viramgami occupies a space where tradition is neither preserved nor discarded, but treated as raw material—something to be reworked, layered, and reimagined. His paintings hold together multiple temporalities, visual languages, and emotional registers, offering a quietly complex reflection of an India negotiating its histories within the pressures of the present. In doing so, his work speaks not only to personal memory, but to a broader cultural condition—one where continuity and change are inseparable. this is the artist, painter. give me the a summary like this Sukanya Ayde is an illustrator whose work draws from Indian miniature painting traditions to create immersive, nature-led compositions rooted in memory and mood.
