About the Artist
Chiraag Bhakta is a US-based artist currently living in San Francisco. *Pardon My Hindi has been a pseudonym that he has been using for himself since 2002. He received his BFA at the Hartford Art School in Connecticut. His practice starts with collecting ephemera from various times and environments building upon a theme which primarily relate to identity, history, and popular culture. As an Indian-American artist assimilation is a key theme that is addressed throughout his work as he aims to present buried narratives and marginalized figures. His work draws from his background in the design industry and varies in medium including Printmaking, Collage, Photography, and Assemblage. His work has been on view at various galleries and institutions including: The Smithsonian (DC), The Whitney (NY), The Asian Art Museum (SF). He was raised in an independent motel on a New Jersey freeway with his parents, sister, and rotating extended family. Also he likes donuts from time to time. http://www.pardonmyhindi.com
