For Delhi-born figurative artist Manoj Agarwal, the dynamic world of contemporary art isn't just about creation; it's a relentless, deeply personal quest to expand their artistic boundaries. His work is firmly rooted in the realities of urban life in the bustling metropolis where he was born and raised. Aiming to create as many works as possible, Agarwal crafts a narrative of growth and experimentation with each new creation. Thus, keeping his work vibrantly relevant.
Setting him apart is his inspiration from the common man and the daily hustles of Delhi. Agarwal reflects on the struggles he witnessed in his sculptures and paintings, while the quiet optimism becomes a recurring theme in his art practice.
Creating an immersive and theatrical experience, his monumental works explore forced perspective and perspective distortion. These exaggerated proportions challenge the viewer's spatial perception, amplifying the emotional impact.
In essence, the artist’s work is both a tribute and a challenge — a tribute to the spirit of ordinary people and a challenge to the traditional ways we perceive space, form, and narrative in visual art. By blending realism with distortion, he opens up new spaces — not only within the canvas or sculpture but within the minds of his viewers, urging them to reflect, relate, and rise.
