Shruti Chandra pursued the subject of commerce from Sriram College of Commerce, New Delhi, before receiving her formal training in art from Triveni Kala Sangam, New Delhi. Shruti’s work reflects on urbanity and its interdependence with human life, delving into the effects of the fast growing society. She locates urban spaces as a site for human aspirations and desires and thus building her imagery inspired from the said spaces.
“Hence, for Shruti, the spreading of urbanity is a kind or re-inscription of history or even interpolations made on the grander text of history. She considers urban spaces as mutually reflecting mirrors that cause endless reflections of the objects.”(Johny ML quoted in India at 70: Mapping the canvas of Indian Art – at 70 years of Indian Independence, New Delhi: The Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR), 2017, p. 70)
Chandra has been a recipient of recognised awards such as the All India award of the All India Fine Arts and Crafts Society in 1986 and 1995, the National Award by the Lalit Kala Akademi in 2005, and the Taj Gaurav award in 2008. She has also received academic scholarships and awards like the Cultural Scholarship for Painting by the Government of India, from 1984 to 1987 and the Junior Fellowship by the Department of Culture, Government of India in 1991. Her works have been part of notable exhibitions, both solo and group, like the Indian Women Artists Show organised by the National Gallery of Modern Art, 1986, Structures Of Visuality at Shridharani Gallery, 2003, Figurative- Non-Figurative Auction curated by Neville Tuli in Mumbai, 2003, Stree hosted by Shoobh Group Welfare Society, 2018, amongst others.
The artist lives and works in New Delhi.
