Biography

B Ajay Sharma (b. 1986, Deoghar, Jharkhand) is a multidisciplinary artist who, over the past fifteen years, has developed a rich and diverse body of work spanning various media, including photo performance, alternative photography prints, painting, drawing, performance, sculpture, video, and site-specific installation. His work is deeply influenced by an exploration of time and landscape, which he examines through themes of memory, migration, mortality, and identity in a state of continuous displacement and transformation. He positions himself as a witness to the passage of time, capturing multilayered histories and the remnants of performative acts within time and space. His artistic practice is characterized by a dynamic interplay of subjective experiences and collective narratives, reflecting a profound engagement with human existence's temporal and spatial dimensions.

His work extends the identities of objects, intertwining them with concepts of belonging and temporality. Characterized by a multifaceted exploration of the Anthropocene age, socio-politics, labour dynamics within personal family narratives, geopolitical identities, and daily life phenomena, his art invites viewers to engage with complex layers of issues and profound reflections, making his work both thought-provoking and deeply resonant.

He earned his BFA from Banaras Hindu University in 2007 and an MFA in Painting from Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, in 2009
