Description 'My artwork introduces a fresh possibility of expression: one which arises from an inner soundless state, a state where everything is complementary. The soundless and formless nature of my work is not as important as the primary joy of the varied and vibrating life which my artwork reflects.'

Artist Statement Tarlochan Oberoi was born in 1951 and grew up in India. He graduated with an M.F.A. from Delhi College of Art. Since 1972, he has lived in Denmark and received several diplomas from Danish graphics art academies. He has thus had the opportunity to combine Indian and Danish cultures. The result can be found in his paintings and writings. The art can stand alone and the words can stand alone. However, the two forms of expression combine to enhance and intensify overall impressions and insights.

Oberoi captures new approaches and new visions in his paintings. His art can be found in several the books. In his paintings, opposites are recognized and appear in an aesthetic form. Art opens up in them an opportunity for reflection, pondering, insight, consideration, meditation, experience, and letting go. Oberoi’s paintings are the result of intense observation - he endeavors to render both the visible and invisible worlds.

Oberoi’s poetry serves the same greater purpose as the paintings.

As Keshav Malik writes, “Artists like this, then, provide not only sensuous pleasure by their words and images, but they also make us more reflective, so that both gravity and grace are ours. His verses transcend the intellect and call the reader to the type of self-reflection which we tend to associate with visual art.

We experience it with our senses, but it touches upon something which goes far deeper than sensory activity – it stirs up the soul, so to speak.”

Further, Malik adds, “The truths pin-pointed are keen, so much so as to prick the reader’s consciousness awake.” This is also the case for Oberoi’s various collaborations with several Danish and Indian poets and art critics.

Oberoi has presented over one hundred solo and group exhibitions at various international galleries and institutions. Today his artwork is found in private homes, institutions, businesses, and art museums. He has traveled extensively on four continents, been active in the American, European, and Indian art scenes, and has acted as Art Director and Graphic Designer for several eminent concerns, which thus bear his artistic signature. Since 2004, he has been exploring the U.S. and exhibiting his work across the country.
