Bharat Kumar Jain

Bharat's works are presented under the series of construction and increasing mechanization, through which the creation and destruction aspects of today's contemporary world have been directly and indirectly visualized. Along with this, the works presented also put various question marks in front of the artificial life created by modern man. His works include the reflection of both creation and destruction. While the increasing mechanization and urbanization are symbols of development in the present, on the other hand, the continuous damage and absence of nature express a sense of awareness and alertness towards the nearest future.
His formal training in this artistic exploration includes B.F.A and M.F.A degrees from Indira Kala Sangeet University, Khairagarh, Chhattisgarh. Throughout this journey, his work has been recognized with several awards, including the PRATISTHANA KHANDERAO AWARD in 2020 and the prestigious ‘JAGDISH SWAMINATHAN AWARD’ by Madhya Pradesh Rajya Roopankar Puraskar in 2019. Notably, he was honored with four gold medals upon completing his Master of Fine Arts in 2017 by Indira Kala Sangit Vishwavidyalaya. Further recognition includes the first prize in painting at the 91st All India Annual Art Exhibition by the All India Fine Arts & Crafts Society, New Delhi, in 2018, and the ‘MP State Award’ by the Prafulla Dahanukar Art Foundation, Mumbai, also in 2018. Earlier, in 2017, he received a young artists scholarship from CCRT, under the Ministry of Culture, New Delhi. His artistic endeavors have led to work collections internationally, including in London, U.K. (2019), and within the private collection of I.K.S.V.V. Khairagarh. His participation in significant exhibitions such as the Bombay Art Society's All India Annual Art Exhibitions in Mumbai (2013 and 2014) further marks his ongoing engagement with the broader art community.
