Biography
Hailing from Durg district, Chhattisgarh, Praveer Singh Bais pursued his bachelor’s degree in fine arts from Indira Kala Sangeet Vishwavidyalaya, Khairagarh in 2019. He has been a lover of visuals and passionate about art since his childhood. After completing graduation, he soon moved to Delhi where he set up his workstation as a full-time digital creator and a visual art practitioner. The art of life and visuals fascinated him from the very first and as someone born in the 90s in a small town in India and later moved to the capital city, he has observed and responded to the changing socio-cultural times and human behaviors and emotional shifts through his works. As a part of the social collective and individual, Praveer investigates into the changing psyche of social reality with the advent and then the overdependence on technology. In his own way of archiving personal memory, he merges his personal history with found historical objects from his own lifetime and experience. Each of his works comes out from a personal blend of driving memories and a response to the current time where it exudes a collective, universal value. He works in several mediums including sculpture, mixed media assemblage to digital, and new media works. He has been majorly influenced by pop culture and the sci-fi genre spread in books and films. He found major inspirations of human values in the works of Stanley Kubrick, Satyajit Ray, and Andrei Tarkovsky and prepared to work in a world predicted by George Orwell or Frank Hubert. The elements and fabrics of various social cultures from different times and spaces, experienced by the artist can be found juxtaposed or combined in the composition of the works. The works exude a new perspective to look from and evoke curious feelings of individual and social introspection. Praveer had received the Micro-grants from Artdemic India associated with the Satish Gujral Foundation (2023). He participated in the ‘Art for Climate Action’ group exhibition at National Crafts Museum, New Delhi, and many other exhibitions across India. Among his international accolades, he was selected for the Digital Art Shuffle CAPDASS at Mbloc space, Jakarta (2022). He also participated in the 1st Illustration Biennale, Lithuania (2020).
