Ganesh Haloi

Ganesh Haloi is an India-based visual artist, curator, and author. His artistic practice evolved from pure landscapes to explorations of inner landscapes, or “innerscapes.” Although his works are abstract, Haloi’s motifs maintain precise associations with his psyche, experiences, and the upheavals that have shaped his perspective. He is known for maintaining high standards of craftsmanship, with recurring constructions of trees, houses, and the ambience of Kolkata, often portrayed with a murky atmosphere and suppressed strength. Haloi was born in 1936 in Jamalpur village in Mymensingh, now in Bangladesh. He spent much of his childhood there before his family moved to Calcutta, India, in 1950 following the India-Pakistan Partition.
