Jai Zharotia
Untitled, Figurative, Oil on Canvas, Brown, Green Modern Indian Artist"In Stock"

About the Item

Jai Zharotia - Untitled - 12 x 12 inches (unframed size) Oil on Canvas Inclusive of shipment in a roll form. Born in Delhi in 1945, Jai Zharotia studied Fine arts from Delhi College of Arts from 1967-71. He became an art teacher at the Bal Bhavan before becoming a lecturer at Alma Mater in 1974. He then became a professor and head of the painting department at the same university in 2005. When seen in dept, a sense of duality pervades Zharotia's  works- it works between the visible & the invisible, the apparent & the elusive, the conscious & the unconscious. The role that fate and circumstance played in his life convinced him that as an artist, he must include what lay beyond the conscious in his work. Therefore, the duality between experience and imagination became the main tool in the artist's visual vocabulary. A clown-like figure can repeatedly be seen in Zharotia's works with a cap that resembles a dunce cap. This figure, according to the artist depicts a common man in this huge world playing many parts and characters. The figure over time evolves into a female acrobat, dancing and bending in impossible ways. Zharotia has received many awards such as the Lalit Kala Academy Award etc. His works have been acquired by institutions and private collections in and outside the country like the Alkazi Collection, KNMA and DAG Collection. Jai Zharotia passed away in March 2021.

Keane was born in Nashville,TN, and attributes her deep respect for the Bible and inspirations of her artwork to the relationship with her grandmother. In the 1960’s, while married to her second husband Walter, she was forced to paint and sell under his name, but during their divorce proceedings, she was able to prove that the paintings were actually done by her and the court determined that she was able to paint under her own name again.

  • "In Front of the Store"
    By Charles Robert Searles
    Located in Lambertville, NJ
    Jim’s of Lambertville is proud to offer this artwork. Signed and dated lower right. Illustrated in "Charles Searles" 2013 exhibition catalog (La Salle University Art Museum / Tyler School of Art) pg. 195 Charles Searles (1937-2004) He was born in Philadelphia, PA and received his fine art education at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art (PAFA) from 1969-72. He also attended the University of Pennsylvania for liberal arts studies, where he worked in the labs beside the scientists and engineers creating technical illustrations for text books. His early paintings embraced the tumultuous 60's and also reflected his own family life and surroundings. Before graduating the PAFA, Searles received the Cresson Memorial Traveling Scholarship, and the following year, the Ware Memorial Traveling Scholarship. He was the first student to use these funds to travel to Africa. His travels in Africa marked his life and work forever -- the life, the rhythms, the patterns, and the energy. Searles returned to Philadelphia and began teaching at the Ile Ife Cultural Center. It was then that he began his "Dancer" Series. This series marked a change in his life, celebrating his new sense of renewal and the African experience. He was awarded his first mural commission at the William G. Green Federal Building. This work, entitled "Celebration" is still on view today. At that time, he was also hired as a drawing teacher at the (then) Philadelphia College of Art, where he remained a professor for over twenty years. In 1978, Searles moved to New York City. He found a large, raw space -- an old sewing factory -- on Broadway and Bleeker where he would remain for the rest of his life. He continued to commute to Philadelphia teaching part time. He met Kathleen Spicer, an art student, in 1983. They married in 1985. Together, they shared a wonderful, open, artistic, social, and creative experience. Searles gradually moved away from painting and into sculpture. His sculptures maintained the vibrant color and patterns from his paintings, but seemed to dance in three dimensions. These new works embodied a live sense of rhythm and energy -- trademarks that he maintained throughout his career, whether in wood, bronze, or aluminum. In his lifetime, Charles Searles participated in over 60 group shows, and 25 solo exhibitions. He was represented by the Sande Webster Gallery in Philadelphia for over 20 years. His paintings and sculptures can be found in innumerable public and private collections. Public commissions include the Delaware River Port Authority, the NYC Mass Transit Authority, the First District Plaza in Philadelphia, and the Amtrak station in Newark, NJ. He was the recipient of many awards, including ones from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, the Adolph and Esther Gottleib Foundation, the Creative Arts Project Fellowship, and the National Endowment for the Arts. His wife of 23 years, Kathleen Spicer adds: "Charles was his work, and his work was him. Inseparable. Our lives were all about art. We lived each day as if it was a gift. To me, he was enchanted. His vision was clear -- he could envision something and make it come to life as easy as breathing. Genius. Charles made the world a better place. Charles speaks loud and clear."
