Eden Trashed Painting

As a visual artist I follow my own muse . The artworks that I create are a contemporary form of art primitive . My muse helps me create satirical narratives with exuberant , colours , motifs and textures . My art is a cross cultural form , reflecting my country of birth India and my adopted nation Australia. I studied fashion and design at Shillito design school Sydney . My teachers were Phyllis Shillito ( first head teacher east Sydney technical college now the national art school ) Peter Travis , colourist ceramic artist and the man who created the iconic swim wear label Speedos . The schools curriculum followed the Bahaus method. After my studies , I was employed in the fashion industry till the year 2007 ,it was then , I decided to start my creative process as a visual artist . I have exhibited in several group shows . I was a finalist at the border art prize. I have sold my art in the tweed regional gallery , the Channon gallery and the serpentine gallery in Lismore NSW . I won first prize at the Tursa art competition. I exhibited regularly at the Channon gallery for 4 years till the gallery closed . I had a solo exhibition in 2018 , which was received well by the viewers of my art works .recently I have sold my art on saatchiart . The owner of the Channon gallery the late Peter Boyle wrote the following about my art on the gallery website “ Theodore’s work is a joy to have in the gallery , his humour , naughtiness and deep sense of satire associated with contemporary culture and social themes of this country, brings a smile or laugh , but also challenges the rhetoric we are fed “ I hope the viewers and buyers of my artworks will experience the joy and pleasure that I received while working on each of my creations.
