Fawad Tamkanat, born in 1962 in Hyderabad, India, is a distinguished artist with an impressive academic background, holding degrees in B.Com, BFA, and MFA from Central University. His artistic journey has been adorned with accolades, including University Gold Medals in both BFA (JNTU) and MFA (Central University).
With a prolific career spanning over 100 solo exhibitions of paintings and printmaking in India and abroad, Fawad's artistic prowess has found residence in prestigious institutions like the "Kristen Kajer Museum" in Denmark, where he explored the realm of printmaking during an artistic residency.
Notably, his works grace the collections of esteemed museums such as the National Gallery of Modern Art in New Delhi and the Imago Mundi Museum in Italy. Beyond museum walls, Fawad has curated numerous painting, printmaking, and installation art exhibitions, leaving an indelible mark on the art scene both in India and internationally.
Fawad's artistic brilliance lies in balancing traditional and contemporary elements, Fawad's art captures the essence of his hometown, Hyderabad, depicting its lesser-known parts with a distinctive touch. His cityscapes tell captivating stories of chaotic streets, juxtaposing old and new, rich and poor, in a vibrant tableau of life.
Influenced by the unique inhabitants of Hyderabad, Fawad brings to life fakirs, sweepers, pedestrians, and the evolving culture of malls in his paintings. His favorite medium, Drypoint, especially in black and white erotic art, showcases his versatility, influenced by his experiences working with renowned printmakers like Søren Bjælde in Denmark.
Fawad's international exposure began in 1996 when he participated in installation workshops and learned printmaking from European artists. This collaboration shaped his artistic journey, leading to solo shows, artist-in-residence programs, and art workshops in Scandinavia. His work has garnered attention from prominent art collectors in Europe and the United States.
In his current series of cityscapes, Fawad pays tribute to towns in India, the Netherlands, Paris, and the Middle East. Each painting is a personal tale, reflecting memories and silent grace embedded in diverse spaces, creating a narrative that is uniquely his own.
