Born in 1991 in Rajasthan, Bhagyashree Suthar was raised in Jodhpur in a family of furniture makers. She pursued her BFA and MFA at Maharaja Sayajirao University, Vadodara, earning a gold medal in Visual Arts in 2016.
Her practice is deeply influenced by architecture and geometric patterns in nature, which she explores as reflections of the self. Through beeswax sculptures, drawings and wax paintings, she constructs utopian, fantastical worlds with meticulous detail. Her use of kite paper, Rajasthani wasli and beeswax allows her to evoke silence through the interplay of light and shadow.
Bhagyashree’s forms oscillate between the man-made and the organic—never quite bionic—focusing on structures rather than spaces. These suspended, weighty compositions resemble granite adrift in the sky, caught between flight and stillness. It is architecture in quiet self-reflection.
As an artist represented by Akara, Bhagyashree’s solo shows include ‘Suspended Simulacra’, ‘Fields of Eros and Enchantment’, 2020 and ‘Fractal Future’, 2016. She has been a part of various group shows, including ‘Let Me Tell You A Story…Part I’, Curated by Luiza Teixeira De Freitas, Akara Contemporary, 2023, ‘Memories Arrested In Space’, 2021, and ‘Approaching Land’ curated by Girish Shahane, 2017. Her commissioned work for the Indigo Art Museumin Ahmedebad and has been featured in the book, ‘Vitamin D3: Today’s Best In Contemporary Drawing’ published by Phaidon press, UK.
