P. Mansaram

P. Mansaram (1934–2020), born Panchal Mansaram in Mount Abu, Rajasthan, was an Indo-Canadian artist known primarily for his collage-based mixed-media works, which he called Mansamedia. He studied at the Sir J. J. School of Art in Mumbai from 1954 to 1959 and later attended the Rijks Akademie in Amsterdam on a Dutch government scholarship. After immigrating to Canada in 1966, he developed a distinctive practice combining collage, photography, silk screening, xerography, and lasergraphy. His works often brought together fragmented yet connected imagery with a dream-like quality. His series included Nepal, Calcutta by Night, Rear View Window, East West Intersect, Art on the Rocks, and Udaipur. His works are held in collections including the Royal Ontario Museum and the National Gallery of Canada.
