Sandeep Mukherjee

For over a decade Mukherjee’s work has explored the notion of abstracting as a means to image a particular aspect of flowing matter.  Working in painting, drawing and installation, the work has been process oriented and improvisational.  Following multiple paths of inquiry such as imaging the performing body, subtracting the material body  and folding the architectural body, the work continues to explore the relationship between process, affect and image.
 
Mukherjee received an MFA from UCLA, and a BFA from Otis College of Art and
Design, Los Angeles. Born in Pune, India, he lives and works in Los Angeles.
His works are in numerous public collections, including those of MOCA, Los Angeles; MOMA, New York; LACMA; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art in New Delhi and the Jumex Collection, Mexico City. Mukherjee has had solo shows at Brennan & Griffin  (New York), Project 88 (Mumbai), Sister and Cottage Home (Los Angeles), at the Margo Leavin gallery (Los Angeles) and the Pomona College Museum of Art (Claremont) among others.
