HEMRAJ: THE ABSTRACT COMTEMPORARY PAINTER

Whenever contemporary Indian art is mentioned, Hemraj’s name automatically comes up. In Delhi’s art world, he is a familiar face. But even when famous Indian painters are mentioned, Hemraj sits close to modern masters of Abstractionism. Working mostly in oil, Hemraj has produced a remarkable body of oil painting over the years. Top Indian art galleries have been dealing in his works both in Delhi as well as Mumbai. Their well tested assessment is that he is one of the most saleable Indian painters in abstract vein. Personally, one of the most humble benign an unassuming person, ready to communicate and reciprocate. There are few fine – artists who would match him. He is a class to artist like Atul Dodiya, Subodh Gupta & the veteran master of line, M.F. Hussain. Contribution of this fine artist to the contemporary art of the abstract genera is both substantial and significant.
