Biography
A self-taught multi-disciplinary artist, Sumit Mehndiratta thrives in the art industry with his passion for experimenting with a diverse range of mediums making him a prolific artist. Working for more than a decade selling his works, He has worked with online art galleries and exhibited his works, both group and solo shows across the UK, UAE, Japan, Italy, China and India. He has also worked on several projects in the US, UK and UAE and been published in many art/home magazines, websites and events.
With a focus on nature and abstraction, his works are a visual feast that provokes individualistic interpretations. Sumit’s art transcends traditional media, incorporating everything from canvas and digital art to mixed media and wall sculptures. His unique tools and painting techniques emphasise a broader ethic: art as an ever-changing and always enjoyable journey. Describing his style of work, the Delhi-based artist avers, “My main genre of work is nature and abstraction, which is prominent in most of my works. I love abstraction and how everyone perceives it differently. An interpretation of an abstract artwork is a unique insight to a person’s psyche which is intriguing to know.”
Sumit works aren't restricted to one style or medium of work. His works range from generic mediums such as canvas and paper to experimental mediums like up-cycled materials, mixed media and wall sculptures. His studio has such a wide variety of art materials that when he is making a piece, he grabs something around that he can see and work into the art piece and ends up making it with various mediums on it.
Sumit claims to have been experimental since childhood. Be it drawing, sketching, cooking, painting or photography, he always liked to do something no one has ever thought of, by adding his flair to the task. To achieve this, Sumit creates his own painting tools to go with the techniques he thinks of. “I usually discover different techniques to paint and construct my own tools to put the ideas into action. I pick up a theme and make a series of paintings on them. When the technique gets repetitive, I wait for another inspiration to strike, and I move onto the next series,” professes Sumit. He does not have any single ‘patented style’ as he terms it to be mere repetition which depletes creativity. He adds on saying that his works are not entirely skill based as a skill needs to be perfected by doing it repeatedly; “My art is more about the playfulness and excitement of how beautiful visual patterns and colours can emerge from experimentation, I believe in having fun in my studio and my art is end result of it.”
He also believes in impulsive acts of making art and its surprising results; “For me it is not about the number of hours spent in making one artwork or extreme skills of perfection. Its mostly impulsive with a playful skill that comes along involving certain movements, measures, materials and tools which lead to a satisfying end result.”
Sumit also focuses on giving back to nature from what he earns as an artist. On collecting Sumit Mehndiratta's artwork, you help him contribute some of his earnings towards Animal welfare as he is passionate about donating to NGO’s in India that rescue, heal and feed stray animals.
