Born in 1978, Vibha Galhotra received her Bachelor’s degree in Graphics from the Government College of Arts, Chandigarh, in 1999, and her Master’s degree in the same from Kala Bhavan, Santiniketan, in 2001. The artist works with a variety of media, ranging from print-making to painting, animation videos and site-specific installations. As she explains, “The medium isn’t important to me. It’s about conveying the message”. Galhotra’s work frequently addresses issues of urbanization, exploring the various relationships between city and citizen. Often, the human figure seamlessly blends into wider cityscapes, almost as if the city was an engulfing protagonist.
Vibha Galhotra has exhibited her work in several solo shows, including most recently ‘Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?’ at Anant Art Gallery, New Delhi, in 2006; ‘Between Me and Delhi’ at Anant Art Gallery, New Delhi, in 2005; ‘White’ at the Faculty of Fine Arts, M.S. University, Baroda, in 2004; and ‘Space Within the Space’ at Max Mueller Bhavan, New Delhi, in 2002. Her works have been featured in several group shows, including ‘Everywhere Is War (and rumors of war)’ at Bodhi Art, Mumbai, in 2008; ‘Destination Asia: Flying over Stereotypes’ at Elementa, Dubai, in 2008; ‘Walk The Line’ at Avanthy Contemporary, Zurich, in 2008; and ‘Rethinking Materiality’ at Gallery Espace, New Delhi, in 2007-08.
Galhotra was awarded the Inlaks Foundation Fine Arts Award in 2003 and a National Scholarship from the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, in 2001. She has also served as a visiting member of the faculty at the National Institute Fashion Technology, New Delhi, and has been conducted several workshops all over the world.
The artist lives and works in New Delhi.
