Kashyap Parik

Kashyap Parikh attempts to appreciate the physical and metaphysical states of reality, processing these aspects into his own art-language. The artist seizes space, time, and motion in his canvases, reminding the viewer of early twentieth century ‘Futurist movement’ and its protagonists. He understands well that he needs to take his own time, experience, and experimentations to achieve the desired ends, as he tries to grasp the intricacies of the world which surrounds him.
Kashyap undertook his graduate and postgraduate studies in the Faculty of Fine Arts, at the M.S. University of Vadodara. He is presently Vice-Dean and Head of Graphic Design and Printmaking in the Department at Faculty of Fine Arts, at his alma mater. He has been teaching for the last 25 years and providing expert services to various educational institutes as an Art Educator, Painter, Printmaker, as well as Graphic Designer. Kashyap has exhibited at various international exhibitions including, UK, China, and Bhutan, to name a few. He has 15 solo exhibitions to his credit and has participated in numerous seminars and art camps.
