B. Ajay Sharma is a contemporary visual artist, who formally studied painting in India's two renowned art institutions. However, his works cover a wide range of media including drawing, painting, sculpture, conventional and revived techniques of photography, durational and site-specific installations, as well as new technologies. He takes drawing as a vehicular aspect of his thoughts. Elaborating on the the notion of Bhava, performance and alternative photography enable him to engage with external space as opposed to his internal visual thoughts. He has been exploring ‘THE YOGA VASHISTA’ for many years, and works on the concept of breath as a unit of his unitary existential visual currency.
Born in 1986, B. Ajay Sharma studied art at the Faculty of Visual Art, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi (BFA in painting in 2007) and later earned his MFA in Painting from Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi in 2009. He has taken part in H0~ArT - exhibition of Art at Hyderabad State Gallery, India. His last solo show PARADOX (2015) took place at the Instituto Cervantes, KKUM.DANG.INDIA (2015) curated by Inseng Song at Korean Culture Centre,(2015), Al REVELAR curated by Julia Villasenor at Vadhera Art Gallery (2015), New Delhi, Art & Breakfast in Malaga, Spain (2015). His work was exhibited at the India Art Fair 2014-15 with Neilson Art Gallery, Spain and Wonderwall, New Delhi. He was at a residency in Spain followed by a solo show “Thanatophobia” (2014) at Neilson Art Gallery. In the same year he participated at 2014 Degenerate, curated by Blessy Augustine at Vadehra Art Gallery, New Delhi. In 2013 he attended a two-month ALTlab photography residency at Goa Centre for Alternative Photography (Goa-CAP), as an artist/photographer as well as at Taipe Photo Art Fair Taiwan. His works were part of ‘Ye Hai India Darling’ curated by Pia Camilla Copper, at XVA, Gallery DIFC and XVA Bastakiya, Dubai.
In 2014, he set up a space called ”स्याह-घर" (pronounced as Syah-Ghar in Sanskrit and Hindi) meaning Dark-Room. He opened up this space to develop community-based-practice of alternative photography studio in New Delhi (India).
ABVP Riots in Delhi University with Police Protection
For the second successive day, goons affiliated to the RSS-BJP backed right wing student mafia gang called ABVP (Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad) pelted stones and violently attacked peaceful assemblies of students and teachers in Delhi University. Journalists who were present were also beaten up. Phones and cameras and filming equipment were destroyed. An attempt was made to strangle a professor with his own scarf. He, and some other students who were injured had to be hospitalized. Luckily, they are shaken, but out of immediate danger. The incidents have been characterized as ‘clashes’ between right wing and left wing student groups by some sections of the media. Nothing can be further from the truth. These were not ‘clashes’. They were straight-forward one sided attacks by a mob intent on violence. A riot is not a clash.

HOW MANY TIMES IT HAPPENED THERE ,BEFORE WE CALLED IT A PERFORMANCE
Before the Performance , There is hidden conversation between Body and mind ,
often there was a Wetness before us ,
Thereafter ,we are witnessing the space
every now and then ,
time and death ,
perhaps it was the History
and we call time ,
thought ,
the story was stolen, hidden in side the Sand Graves
what we carry on ,
Probably ,
often we called The performance
How may times the convection happened
before witnessing
The Body ,Space and Time
Song of Ramponnkar
link of Sound –Song of Ramponnkar
In Goa-Cap residency 2013,I work on Fisherman community in Candolim Goa. I took lots of interview of different person to reflect the situation and condition.Although the work is more photography installation and sound base .So for me very difficult to choose one sound . Hence, I am involved with them and participating with their Festival and Marriage ceremony ,
I observe lot of difficult situation , how they enjoying life and movement in life , the song is related to fisher man how he imaging he wife as well song of fishing when they catches Fish.There is life,beauty and music in side, the simple sound expression
Notion of images”छवियों की अवधारणाएं “
Notion of images”छवियों की अवधारणाएं ”
Oh! My mine, teach me how to fly
parallel entity of thoughts, idea , words, sound , images, space ,… as an visual artist my vocabulary is creating visual notion ,what, I feel, I try to translate into the visual expression.
This piece of installation is about space and circumstance .How we respond the sound into image, even both are complement element to understand the notion of expression. so there is two sound analogous where viewer can images there won images. According to there mood , state of mind they will respond and create won images .That is not static ,even each time we have more images and express into one single sound ……
This Installation is Part of show curated by Jasone Miranda at Niv Art Gallery
