Born in Bombay in 1928, Homi B. Patel studied at the esteemed Sir J. J. School of Art. He later worked in the studios of the Bhulabhai Desai Institute, a centre of creativity and experimentation in Bombay, famously graced by the likes of Vasudeo S. Gaitonde and Nasreen Mohamedi. Patel’s style is boldly abstract and his strong commitment to nonrepresentation continued throughout his career. His work has been exhibited in India and abroad, notably at the Venice Biennale in 1954, and is housed in the collection of the National Gallery of Modern Art in New Delhi and that of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai.
