Charcoal is the first tool that humans used
|
Abhijeet Shrivastava was born in 1989 in Jabalpur, central India. From an early age, Abhijeet (Abhi) demonstrated an innate passion for expressing his thoughts and observations through textures of charcoal on paper. Charcoal is one of the most ancient art, natural and environmentally friendly art material. Cave drawings were made using charcoal all over the world. However, this original mode of drawing is getting lost and replaced with higher carbon emission chemical colors. Abhi's work is an attempt to preserve this form of historic art and continue the path towards sustainable arts.
Abhi is a self-taught artist and his work has been described as a delicate equilibrium between life as a performance and visual calm. Abhi moved to the United States in 2013 to pursue his master’s degree from Columbia University, New York. His artwork has been exhibited in multiple galleries in India and the United States. Although Abhi is proficient in using computed design tools for his creative work, he still enjoys tangible hand drawings.
