Ajay and Vinita Sharma have been exhibiting their works at AirSpace Projects since 2014. In September this year, they will be exhibiting new original works and a selection of copy works in the tradition of Indian miniature painting. Ajay Sharma is a master miniature painter from Jaipur and is internationally renown for both his original paintings on paper, his copy works and murals, which are defined by his mastery of natural pigments and subject matter. In 2010 he exhibited his work at the Julie Saul Gallery in New York in a series of collaborations with Julie Evans, an exhibition that featured in major journals such as Art in America and Artforum. Vinita Sharma exhibited her fine original works and copy works in her first solo exhibition at AirSpace Projects in 2016. Vinita Sharma has been involved in Ajay Sharma’s production and teaching studio for at least twenty years and her work is now receiving attention in its own right.
This is an exciting opportunity to view a selection of their works currently available at AirSpace Projects before their September exhibition.
