Nabibakhsh Mansoori Tiger Tiger

Nabibakhsh Mansoori

Nabibakhsh Mansoori was born in 1966 in Idar, Gujarat. In 1990, he earned a Diploma in Fine Arts (Drawing & Painting) from Sheth C. N. College of Fine Arts, Ahmedabad. In 1992, he completed his Post Diploma in Fine Arts (Creative Painting) at M. S. University of Baroda.

He is a distinguished recipient of the Bombay Art Society’s Bendre-Husain Scholarship. Nabibakhsh Mansoori paintings are exuberant, and at times surreal. Mansoori views the world through a kaleidoscope of color, skewed images. He loves to throw the viewer off balance and make them take a second look at the work, drawing them into his world. In Mansoori’s world, there is a vortex. It has no beginning or end. It is a mix of reality and the dream world.

Mansoori wants to recreate the bright colors seen through a prism. So, he glides between using oils and acrylics as his medium. Mansoori’s paintings stand out for their dramatic light, unique perspective, and bold colors.

Since 1992, Mansoori has held solo shows in Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Idar, Surat, and New Delhi. His popular show is “Tiger!” Tiger!’ In 2010 by Archer Art Gallery, Ahmedabad, and in 2011, ‘Tiger! Tiger!’ by Kalakriti Art Gallery in Hyderabad. In 2009, ‘Moving Malls of India’ by Archer Art Gallery, Ahmedabad. In 2006, ‘Weaving Dreams’ by The Visual Gallery at Gallery 27, London. He has participated in many group shows in India. They were in Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, New Delhi, Surat, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Kolkata. He also showed in London in 1999, 2002, and 2005, and in Dubai in 2003. In 2013, ‘Twilight’ by Archer Art Gallery at Ahmedabad.

His work has also featured in Sothebey’s auction held in New York in September 1998 and in London in June 1999. He lives and works in Gandhinagar.
