Raja Ram Sharma: New Miniatures

The Drawing Room is pleased to present two exhibitions on view May 1 through June 1, "Raja Ram Sharma | new miniatures".

Raja Ram Sharma is a master miniature and temple painter living in Udaipur, India. He left home at the age of 13 to be trained in the Nathdwara School of miniature painting that was founded in 17th century Rajasthan. In contemporary culture this means that his daily work is devoted to painting pichwai, the cloth paintings hung as offerings behind the image of the deity in Hindu temples. In his own time, away from his pichwai workshop, Sharma creates miniature paintings reinventing traditional subjects and structures to explore his thoughts about the current state of the world.
