About Devendra M. Badiger

As an artist, I want to take the road less travelled. I want to force my viewers to focus on the subtle elements because this is where we find rooted the deepest motivations and driving force. Art is not just a means of self expression to me; it is a way of engaging the viewer in an active dialogue. This dialogue is in cultural terms and is particularly relevant today, where cultural diversities can be archived only by preservation of cultural identities. I seek deep meaning and formal innovations in my creative expressions. In this way, I urge my viewers to look at my art again and again to discover something new each time. By participating in a multi cultural discourse, I will contribute to a new vision of India in the making

Born to an artisan family from Bijapur, Karnataka with a Master of Visual Art from Hampi University, Devendra Badiger heralded a new vision for his art. He aims at engaging the viewer in a dialogue. Devendra’s work represents his rich culture and traditional heritage in the style of a true contemporary artist, one that links the busy urban cities like Delhi with ancient Karnataka. He has participated in over 90 solo and group exhibitions in major cities like Castlerock, UK, New Delhi, Dharwad, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Cochin, Bangalore, Panjim, Jodhpur, Hyderabad, Muscat etc and won many awards. Some of them include the Bombay Art Society’s 122nd annual award, Mysore Dasara Award, Kalasangati Scrible’s Merit Award among others.
