Vakish Jha is a contemporary artist and investment banker, based out of New York metropolitan area. He currently has an online show titled, Voyages of Reflections, on MvVO ART. It runs through August 8, 2021.
MvVO ART announced its first solo show, Voyages of Reflections, on Artsy, featuring the work of Vikash Jha for one week (August 2 – 8, 2021). The talented Mr. Jha participated in the MvVO ART debut at Sotheby’s (February 2018), and in both the 2019 and 2020 shows in the Oculus at the Westfield World Trade Center, New York City. He is among the artists with works available for sale on the MvVO ART Artsy gallery. This body of work reflects artists’ deep cross-cultural influences and journeys so far, traversing between eastern transcendental expressionism and modern western experientialism influenced by Picasso, de Kooning, Rauschenberg, Rothko, Pollock, Gaitonde, Hussain and others.
“Vikash is an extraordinary talent and the perfect choice for the first solo show on our virtual gallery space. His art is inspirational and so is his optimism and dedication to seeking out and seizing opportunities to grow his art career. He has great potential and the heart to find an audience for his work.”
We’re happy to support Vikash with a solo show.” Maria van Vlodrop, Founder CEO of MvVO ART. Vikash recently won a contest hosted by Penguin Random House and was awarded a review by the art
critic and author of, ‘How to Be an Artist’, Jerry Saltz. The noted Pulitzer-prize winning critic said of Vikash’s work: “You know a fair amount about art. Great sense of color…. internal light. Gets viewers engaged from far and….then draws them in… by working back the details. This is important… I think that if this is the least representative of your works, you are in great shape.”
Vikash Jha is a contemporary abstract expressionist. Born in India, Vikash immigrated to the United States to work in the Management Consulting and Financial Services Industries and for specialized academic studies at Harvard and MIT, after his formal Art education in India. His diligence in seeking out connections and opportunities has led to significant recognition for his budding career. Since 2017, his work has been featured in many Chelsea galleries and shows in the New York Metro area including:
Pleiades Gallery, 1stDibs Design Center, Edison Arts Society, and MvVO AD ART SHOW.
Born and raised in India, Vikash Jha was fortunate to have parents that supported him in all his endeavors, imploring him to follow the pursuit of happiness. Their support guided him to carve his own path of deep study during his formative years as he spent his weekends at a specialized art school. It was there that he learned the formal techniques from his teachers, honing his artistic style.
After receiving formal art and business education in India, Jha would later immigrate to the United States and start a career in Management Consulting and Investment Banking. He would also take up specialized academic studies at Harvard and MIT, but his calling in the arts would bring him back to pursue his first love-painting. Through his diligence in making connections and opportunities, his art career would slowly earn well-deserved recognition.
Today, Vikash Jha is one of the leading contemporary artists in the abstract expressionist movement. He is renowned for his use of color, cross-cultural imagery, and multilayered painting techniques. Each of Jha’s works takes his viewers into a place that evokes joy, exuberance, and awe, prompting them into contemplation and meditation. Despite finding his artistic style, he continues to be a keen student of art, continuously learning new things in his practice as he experiments with materials, techniques, and mediums.
Art is more than an ornament—it’s a tool that tells a story, and each piece should be judged by the story it tells and what that story does to people. If art enthusiasts and professionals keep grounded into that criteria, then artist Vikash Jha is definitely on another level and will only continue to push the boundaries of abstract art in the coming years.
Vikash is a notable contemporary artist who thrives in the abstract expressionist genre. He has made a reputation for being a master at using color to invoke emotions that stir up a sense of a Utopia-like solace in his audiences. Jha uses cross-cultural images to create multi-layered pieces that have swelled in popularity and demand over the past few seasons.
“My background gave me the understanding and appreciation of bold expressionist techniques of many western greats as well as transcendental visual expressions interwoven in my personality,” adds Vikash. “All this has helped develop my unique approach to content, individualistic style and painting technique.”
Vikash is bold in his commitment to showcasing the appreciation for the transcendental through the visual medium. Guided by this clear philosophy, he takes the formless and puts meaning and emotion to it. The artist’s work is very textural, almost coming to life as one devotes undivided attention to it somehow. For that, art enthusiasts take to his work as a rather multi-dimensional experience that ignites feelings of bliss at the existential level
“To get the invite from MvVO Art to be in their first solo artist show on Artsy, from among theirworld-wide curated pool of artists, is a huge honor! I look forward to this experience!” – Vikash Jha
