Sudhir Bhagat, born in 1964, is a renowned artist and graduate of the Delhi College of Art (BFA, 1985). Based in New Delhi, Bhagat began his career in design and creative direction before transitioning to consulting for leading advertising agencies, where he crafted globally acclaimed campaigns. His creative excellence has earned him accolades from prestigious juries in Cannes, New York, Asia-Pacific, the UK, and Europe.

Bhagat's artistic practice primarily involves oil and acrylic on canvas, though his work extends into installations and sculptures. His pieces are instantly recognizable for their bold color palettes and dynamic brushwork, imbuing them with a striking sharpness. Bhagat's art is driven by a desire to engage with urgent global issues, particularly the environmental crisis. His work aims to highlight the beauty and vulnerability of nature, raising awareness and inspiring action to protect the planet. His acclaimed series Shrinking Scapes poignantly illustrates the ongoing loss of ecosystems, species, and genetic diversity—an extinction crisis unfolding before our eyes. Reflecting on the threats posed by climate change, pollution, and urbanization, the series underscores how nature is quietly receding as we fail to act.
In his art, the central figure is often a woman, symbolizing the nurturing, caregiving, and protective roles women have historically embodied. These figures represent growth, renewal, and the harmony of nature, underscoring the profound connection between women and the natural world.

Bhagat's works are part of prestigious collections, including those held by the Airports Authority of India, major corporations, and private collectors.
