The rest, the mind completes.

The artist

Jai Zharotia

1945–2021 · Painter, sculptor, poet, printmaker, ceramicist

Born in New Delhi in 1945 into a humble craftsman family, Jai Zharotia began with calendar art and hoarding painting before training as an artist. Noticed early by Roshen Alkazi, he showed at Kunika Chemould, the Black Partridge Gallery and Art Heritage, and taught painting at the College of Art, Delhi from 1974 until he retired as a Professor.

“I feel that a piece of paper, a blade of grass, even spots on the wall are saying something, and that ‘something’ I try to capture in my paintings.”
