Photography and Art perfectly collide into each other’s arms in the works of Jayesh Sharma. A good friend and a fine photographer, he has taken his art skill and background and applied them effortlessly to the medium of photography. His frames are paintings but with light and shadows instead of paint. He has beautifully showcased scenes from India with a unique perspective of both an artist and someone documenting life. The perfect blend of fine art photography with documentary creates stunning imagery that leaves lasting impressions in the minds of viewers. The future holds many more accolades and achievements for this young man and I wish him all the best with this exhibition and I hope he keeps creating such wonderful masterpieces for a long time to come.

Jayesh Sharma has evolved over the last few years into a very fine young photographer. His keen observation and sense of aesthetic are evident in his pictures. Banaras and its surrounding areas, steeped in history and culture is where Jayesh grew up, and this deep level of familiarity is palpable in his work. Over the many decades Varanasi has been photographed and over-photographed, and it has become rare to find a collection on the city which has anything new to offer - most of such shows beings presented by visiting photographers. With Jayesh's work, we see an affectionate connection to the land that he belongs to, and that comes forth sensitively even in the myriad ways in which his pictures reconstruct the aesthetics of the region.
