Akbar Padamsee was born in Mumbai in 12 April 1928, died in 6 January 2020. His ancestors hailed from Vāghnagar, a village in the Bhavnagar district of the erstwhile Kathiawar, now part of Gujarat state. Padamsee was still a student at the Sir J.J. School of Art in Mumbai at the time when the Progressive Artists’ Group (PAG) announced itself on the Indian art scene in 1947. • After his art education in Mumbai, Padamsee went to live and work in France in the year 1951. In 1952, he was awarded a prize by Andre Breton, known as the pope of surrealism, on behalf of the Journale d’art. His very first solo show was in Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai in 1954, where these early works were shown. • Akbar Padamsee’s artistic oeuvre is a formal exploration of a few chosen genres- prophets, heads, couples, still-life, grey works, metascapes, mirror -images and tertiaries , across a multitude of media – oil painting, plastic emulsion, water colour, sculpture, printmaking, computer graphics, and photography. • Though widely spoken of as a modernist, Padamsee continues to resist easy categorization. Throughout his illustrious career spanning six decades, he has remained fiercely experimental and individualistic. Renouncing the rich colour palette of his early years, he chose to paint in grey between the years 1959 - 1960 stating, “Grey is without prejudice; it does not discriminate between object and space”. These monumental works have been widely recognized for their rich and poetic quality. • He was awarded Padama Bhushan from Government of India in 2010, Kailash Lalit Kala Award, New Delhi in 2010,Roopdhar, Bombay Art Society, Mumbai 2008, Dayawati Modi Award in 2007, Lalit Kala Ratna, Lalit Kala Academy, New Delhi in 2004, Kalidas Samman by the Madhya Pradesh Government in 1997 to 98, Jawaharlal Nehru Fellowship in 1969, Artist in Residence, Stout State University, Wisconsin in 1967, J.D.
