SUDHIR TALMALE

Sudhir Talmale, born in 1964, is an Indian artist renowned for his abstract compositions that harmoniously integrate shape, line, and space. He completed his Master's degree in Fine Arts from Nagpur University in 1988.

Talmale's art practice emphasizes the use of simple geometric forms—such as squares, triangles, and rectangles—combined with lines to create dynamic visuals. His adept manipulation of color, repetition, and layering results in elaborate artworks that explore the interplay between consistency and experimentation. The contrast in his palette, ranging from vibrant turquoise to subdued brown, often relates to specific themes, with the consistent incorporation of white adding a unique dimension to his pieces.
