About the Item
There is a natural and raw understanding in Mukesh Sharma’s prints that depict, and are influenced by, the Rajastani communities of his home town in rural India. In these Limited Edition fine-art prints, made over a period of twenty years, we can feel the colours of India’s ancient land, the textures, light and the patterns that are everywhere. This work is however not romantic nor nostalgic but shows a deeper rooted need to offer images of place, of where the artist is from and the journey that he is taking. The results are both compelling and honest.

Mukesh Sharma's work:
It is often in childhood that paths are set for what we will become. Mukesh Sharma hails from a small agricultural village in Rajasthan, India. His Father was a craftsman who fixed and mended farm machinery and understood the working parts in the processes. Sharma followed in his Father’s footsteps, as if often the case in Indian families, but his was not the machines of the fields but the presses of the printing studio.
Like his Father, Mukesh Sharma is fascinated with understanding how things work and how he can manipulate the metal in his hands. It is not surprising then that his printing method of choice is Viscosity printing, one of the most physically challenging of all the practices, it involves grounding, drilling and folding metal plates.
In his youth, Sharma would draw with stones on walls and floors. He was lucky his family encouraged this and he is grateful for his early art training at the Jaipur School of Art but it was at the Baroda Art Department that he was introduced to the great printing traditions of Jyoti Bhatt, Jeram Patel and in books he saw and read about Krishna Reddy’s practice. The dye was most definitely set.
Looking to Sharma’s works the first thing that strikes the viewer is the small scale of the works and the beautifully muted, natural colours. Inspired by Miniature paintings, images that were readily available in the area he grew up in, these artworks were infused with local colours from the natural pigments ground to make the colours for the paintings. In both his ideas and colours, Sharma replicates the landscape of his birth, the arable fields, the stone mountains and the browns of the Rajasthan desert with the occasional flash of an emerald green or a kirsch red as seen in both the natural world and the textiles of his home.
The size of his artworks is also governed by more practical issues. Access to equipment to make these highly technical artworks is not straightforward. Permissions for print studios need to be taken and having the studio to yourself can be tricky. It is never as simple as taking a piece of paper and making a work. For Sharma the process is part of the piece so using a professional printer is never an option. Whilst he begins with an idea the nature of the very involved stages of the process ensure the work to some extent controls itself and the artist has to constantly make judgement calls at every stage based on experience and the vision for where the piece is going. This is performance art and every take produces a slightly different outcome. Each Edition of 10 prints is very much an original artwork.
In more recent years, Sharma, always reflecting and never still, has had time to consider his practise. Like a scientist tweaking his formulae, the artist has turned his attention to another part of the process, paper. An integral part of printing, his current occupation is the handmade Wasli paper which has a long tradition in his home area. Very fine and acid free, this natural material makes sense in the overall scheme of his work.
Sharma continues to live in Delhi and use printing studios here, in Jaipur and in Vadodara. He is looking forward to working with some large zinc plates, up to 39” in length. It will be interesting to see how the fine Wasli paper and the hard metal plates come together.

Located in Santa Cruz, CA
Signed lower right, 'Hiroyuki Tajima' (Japanese, 1911-1984) and dated 1979 with limitation and number, '100-10', lower center and titled lower left, 'Section of Landscape'.
Paper dimensions: 19.75 x 12.5 inches
An elegant abstract comprising juxtaposed vertical, rectangular forms in variegated shades of turquoise blue and copper.
Engraver and printmaker, Hiroyuki Tajima was born in Tokyo in 1911 and graduated from Nihon University in 1932. In 1934, he graduated from the Tokyo School of Arts with a specialization in western-style painting. Tajima later studied fabric dyeing under Hirokawa Matsugoro (1889-1952) and woodblock printing with the Sosaku-Hanga artist, Nagase Yoshiro (1891-1978), a founder of the Japan Print Association (Hanga Kyokai). In 1946, inspired by Dada and Surrealism, Tajima joined Bijutsu Bunka Kyokai, a group dedicated to exploring and reviving the abstract and surrealist painting ideals that had been suppressed during WWII.
Tajima exhibited widely and with success, including with Tokyo's Modern Art Association (Prix du Nouveau Venu, 1962), the Japanese Engraving Association, the Contemporary Japanese Art Exhibition in Tokyo (1962), the Northwest International Print Exhibition (1962-1964) and the Tokyo International Print Biennale (1964).
