Manu Parekh, colour lithograph
Year: 1973
Edition: 31/50
Sheet size: 37.6 x 50.4 cm
Plate size: 26 x 32 cm
Manu Parekh is from a family of artists, his wife Madhvi and daughter Manisha are both established and recognised artists in their own right. The family is a pivitol part of the contemporary art scene.
Parekh is an artist that continually questions his practise and moves fluidly between mediums; painting, drawing and printmaking. Born in Gujarat in 1939 he witnessed one of the most harrowing of events of the 20th century, Partition. Ruptures often create a questioning and like many other artists Parekh found himself wondering what is was that he should be trying to portray in his art. Trained at the JJ school in Mumbai he also worked at another of the great institutions of creative production, just outside of Calcutta. He spent many years painting at Benares, the most holiest of cities on the banks of the Ganges. It is these later painting that he perhaps better known for.
However, like many artists there is much about Manu Parekh's work that we do not know. He does not think of his work in terms of a steady progression over the decades. It would be interesting to understand what the image in this lithograph makes reference to. What we can see, are a palette of colours, eclectic and bright that he has used throughout his career, in particular the vibrant purple and strong orange.
It is believed this print was made for a portfolifo of Limited Edition Prints by leading Indian artists for the Lalit Kala Akademi (The fine Art Academy) in Delhi.

Manu Parekh
Born in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, Manu Parekh studied at Sir J. J. School of Art, Bombay. Considered one of the most influential contemporary artists or the 20th/21st century, Parekh is part of a celebrated group of artists based in Delhi. Perhaps best known for his Banaras series, Parekh’s works are characterised by his intuitive use of colour, bold brushstrokes, and prominent lines. He has experimented with colourful abstractions, sexual imagery, and figuration, responding as much to nature as to daily life and social issues. The women in his works are represented as nature spirits, plant forms, germinating seeds and allegorical figures, recalling mythological traditions. As with many of his contemporaries, artists such as K G Subramanyan and Jyoti Bhatt, Craft has been a long-term interest and association with the Weavers’ Service Centre as a consultant designer gave him the opportunity to work with craftspeople from diverse regions of India. Parekh received the President of India’s silver plaque and the All India Fine Arts and Crafts Society’s award in 1972 and the national award of the Lalit Kala Akademi, New Delhi, in 1982. In 1992, he was honoured with the Padma Shri by the Government of India. His retrospective show at National Gallery of Modern Art also travelled to Mumbai and Bengaluru. He lives and works in New Delhi along with his artist wife, Madhvi Parekh.
