Artist Statement:
I had read it somewhere that
space is something in which
things exist and in which all
movements take place
(otherwise it is nothing!)
This relationship between
space, existence and movement
has stuck in my mind over the
decades of my working life as
an artist. In all my works I
have been dealing with space.
And all the forms and objects
therein have served as
residents of that space –
forms and objects with their
own dynamics, their own
identities and functions.
However, I have taken care,
that the forms and objects I
introduced in my picture
space, well integrate with the
space they are lodged into and
perform a function that
amounts to just declaring
their existence and their
right to exist therein
(whether in harmony or
conflict). These forms and
objects have a function (the
function I decide them to be
performing). And that function
is generally decided by the
space I allot them. And they
are made to exhibit a lively
interest in both their
existence and environment.
However, I generally divide
my pictorial space in order to
create both depth and mood.
Here comes in my architectural
sense which I have been
developing over the years. ...

Artist Reviews:
HEMRAJ: THE ABSTRACT
CONTEMPORARY PAINTER
Whenever contemporary Indian
art is mentioned, Hemraj’s
name automatically comes up.
In Delhi’s art world, he is a
familiar face. But even when
famous Indian painters are
mentioned, Hemraj sits close

Abstractionism. Working mostly
in oil, Hemraj has produced
