Caregiver

Buwa Shete, born in 1960 in Maharashtra, India, is one of the shining new stars on the Indian contemporary art scene. He has had several group and solo shows across the country and some abroad, and has received acclaim and awards. He worked as an illustrator and designing consultant for leading publications like the Times of India and advertising agencies. Buwa is unafraid of size and flirts outrageously with color. He uses everyday themes like parent and child (“Father and Child”, “Mother and Child”), and subject matter like priests and turbaned village men and turns them into a profusion of bold strokes and color, rendering contemporary, modernist images in rough, strong brush strokes that border on the fantastic.
