Madhurjya is a painter based between Goa and Assam. He holds a BFA and MFA in Painting from MSU of Baroda. He makes representative paintings, texture-mapped sculptures and fictional texts highlighting dead/forgotten instances from the common past. He is interested in the idea of close calls: all that did not happen. His fictional/speculative narratives feed on ruptures in past events: acts, policies, referendums, movements; personal and national archives; the making and unmaking of a state and its political future. He is also a recipient of Jeram Patel Award, Degree Show, MSU Baroda, 2018; KHOJ Artist Support Grant - 2020 and FICA Emerging Artist Award (EAA+) 2022. He is currently working with HH Art Spaces (Co-curator at the Sixth Edition of Kochi Muziris Biennale) and is based between Assam, Goa and Kochi.
