<\/a><\/p>\nThe young artist is full of childlike innocence and excitement \u2013 he loves talking about how he began painting, why he enjoys it so much and where he developed his unique, color-rich style. His \u201caction\u201d and \u201cdrip\u201d painting techniques are much like that of his favorite artist, and resemble those of a young Jackson Pollock.<\/p>\n
Shorya first began attracting attention from the art world at the age of four when he was commissioned to produce his first solo exhibition in his home country of India at Mumbai\u2019s Taj Mahal Palace Hotel. Since that time he has continued to evolve as a young painter who brings each canvas to life through rich and masterful color use while employing a technique that can be compared to Jackson Pollock\u2019s \u201cdrip painting\u201d or \u201caction painting.\u201d Today he spends hours in his creative process, continuing to evolve the signature style that he infuses into each new piece that he produces entirely on his own. Shorya works in acrylics, and like Pollock, his favorite painter, he spreads his canvas on the floor and begins composing with deliberate strokes in multiple layers while weighing the color composition and the symmetry between his brushstrokes, dripping and pouring.<\/p>\n
In just a few brief years, the young artist has been recognized and featured in international media throughout Asia, England, Europe and the U.S., with full feature stories in The Guardian, Daily News Analysis \u2013 Mumbai, Hindustan Times \u2013 Mumbai, and Asian Age – Mumbai. He also garnered the attention of famous artist and cartoonist, R. K. Laxman, who was inspired to create a collaborative exhibition for the young artist. In 2012, Shorya was honored by receiving the POGO Television \u201cAmazing Kid Award\u201d and was featured in a commercial for Turner Broadcasting that highlights his artistic talents. He is also a young philanthropist auctioning some of his works for various children\u2019s charities.<\/p>\n
