Jeram Patel's Art Works on display with Cosmo Arts Gallery (India)

From way back in the 60's, when Jeram Patel hit the Indian art scene with his big black strokes, to today he remains one of the senior most and respected names in the country’s art circumstances. Not totally abstract and not figurative. It’s combination of all feelings and what he has gathered over the years .Jeram Patel was born in 1930 at Sojitra in the Kaira district of Gujarat. He studied drawing and painting at Sir JJ School of Art, Mumbai between 1950 and 55, and typography and publicity design at Central School of Arts and Craft, London for two years till 1959. 
Jeram Patel is one of the artists who turned around the Indian art scene and formulated a new visual identity and method of abstraction in the late 1950's and 60's.  Patel has held one-man shows in London, New Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai and has represented India at the Tokyo Biennale of 1963, the Sao Paulo Biennale of 1963, the Third World Biennale at Baghdad in 1980 and the Festival of India, London, in 1982. His works are featured in many prestigious collections including those at the National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi, the Museum of Chennai Art, Baghdad and London.



Jeram Patel's profound message on human life – the fears and desires that are told through random thick strokes. His heart cries over the miseries of the life and he dreams of an angel to
come from the heaven and endure the bruised souls on this earth
