Shri Najeeb Jung, Hon.’ble Lieutenant Governor of NCT of Delhi shall be the Chief Guest of the Inaugural Function of the Exhibition and he will also address the audience on this occasion. Prof. S.M. Sajid, Offg. Vice-Chancellor, Jamia Millia Islamia shall preside over the Inaugural Function of the Exhibition. Prof. Pankaj Sharan is a theoretical physicist who has worked at Jamia Millia Islamia for the last 32 years. He has been drawing and painting since very early age. At one time, he toyed with the idea of switching to painting full-time in the late 1970’s. But, as he says, at that time, the future of a theoretical physicist was marginally more certain than that of a painter. Prof. Pankaj Sharan’s work is mainly in three categories: landscapes, portraits and human figures. The landscapes, real, semi-abstract or abstract are in all the mediums, oil, watercolor, acrylic, pastel, graphite or charcoal. Many landscapes are marine in nature, with a strong horizontal line. But a number of works depict houses and trees, and a few have hills. The portraits and figures mostly are drawings in pencil, charcoal, pen-ink, crayon or pastels. In addition, there are very large numbers of sketches which he uses for developing into paintings later on. He has also illustrated a few poems. An iron mural designed by him for the S. Ramanujan Block at the University was installed recently. He has exhibited in group shows at IIT Kanpur and Allahabad University, in early and late seventies, and was once selected for the State Lalit Kala Akademi, Lucknow’s Annual Exhibition of 1971. This exhibition is not a retrospective. Most works are done in the current and the last two years, although a few of the early, representative works are included. Most of these paintings and drawings are in the personal collection of the artist. This is his first solo exhibition. All are cordially invited to the inaugural function to be held at 11.30 AM on 3rd October, 2013 in the MF Husain Art Gallery, Jamia Millia Islamia.
