About Akash Bhatt RBA

Profile

Artist details

Artist's Statement

My interest lies in people and their habitats. I have often travelled extensively searching for new projects; however I am equally comfortable gathering inspiration from in and around where I live.

Method of Working

I work mainly from direct observation. I draw and paint when out on the streets gathering information in sketchbooks and on large sheets of paper. This is then brought back to my studio where I consider what will or will not be used. I use all forms of media and work on many different pieces at a time.
