- Sandeep Mukherjee (born 1964) is an Indian-American artist based in Los Angeles who works in the areas of painting, drawing and installation art. His work engages with the discourses of process art, textile art, modernist abstract painting and traditional Eastern art, balancing emphases on materiality, the physicality of the performing body and viewer, architectural space, and image. He is most known for his process-oriented, improvisational abstract works—often paintings in acrylic inks and paints on textured or film-like surfaces—that seek to represent mutable, flowing matter and liminal realms between subjective experience and objective information. Mukherjee's early work was figurative; his later work, while abstract, is often likened to landscape and microscopic, natural or celestial phenomena. Los Angeles Times critic Christopher Knight described it as "ecstatic abstraction, built from color, line, movement and light. Like the dance done by a whirling dervish, who positions himself between material and cosmic worlds." Mukherjee has received a Guggenheim Fellowship and awards from the City of Los Angeles and California Community Foundation, among others. He has exhibited internationally and his work belongs to public collections including those of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles (MOCA), Kiran Nadar Museum of Art and Colección Jumex. He lives and works In Los Angeles and has been a Professor of Art at Pomona College in Claremont, California since 2006. (en)
