After completing his 5-year degree in Fine Arts from the Government College of Arts, Chandigarh, in 1992, Kishore Shanker’s quest for innovation has always fueled his zeal to experiment in printmaking, photography, and painting. His experimentation has never been intended to play with the soul of an original art piece, but most of the time it is a contingent result that accrued with innocent effort.
Kishore received praise from famous and renowned artists in India for his experiments in photo graphics and Photoshop.
Besides this, his diversified experience in Printing / Pre-Press, Designing, Photography for Advertising and Print, Organizing Art Exhibitions, Art Workshops, and Art Competitions has added value to his hard work, which he has put in his 30-year-long career so far.
Artist Statement
‘Being an artist, I conform to this essence because I believe art survives in every single moment of our lives. It flows like a breeze, like water, like a thought… uninterrupted. My artworks are a reflection and a visualization of my thoughts.
I am fascinated with light and try to capture that bright, illuminated spot in my photographs. In the absence of it I add it in through Photo-Graphics. My experiments in photography are a combination of digital photography along computer graphics.
My paintings, most of the times, are a reflection of social issues like Misuse of Ultrasound as in gender determination, Global Warming, Protection of Wildlife, and Human struggles for survival, etc. These themes keep my humane inner self motivated & satisfied in my attempts at touching people’s hearts by awareness generation through my artworks.
In my recent collection of paintings, I have made use of rainbow colors as a symbol of the beauty of nature, the way it was gifted to us.
Zodiac signs are another area of my keen interest in paintings.
