Mohammad Feroz Khan, was born and brought up in Delhi. He has not undergone any formal training in Art but gained experience first from his Father Late Mohd Ibrahim Khan, a Banner Painter. Subsequently, under the able tutelage of renowned Artist Late Manjit Bawa he studied and learned Art for 14 years.
Bawa took much care to train him to use brush and pastels on a variety of subjects, also guided him to savour the beauty and nuances of Texture. Then, as an initial step his Guru guided him through a maze of depicting worthy visuals scattered over the all too familiar places of Delhi. He encouraged him to draw inspiration from real life.
Deferential to his master’s academic style of figuration, he soon convinced his guru of deft brushmanship and ability to create naturalistic human and animal forms, avoiding explicit linear delineation, while projecting solid masses. He chose to see the ordinary things and scenes that make up for our everyday life.
He looks at the little details of a tailor working on a manual sewing machine or a street side vendor selling a cool drink on a hot summer day or rickshaw pullers or beggars and various other street vendors – denizens of the city’s poorest quarters. It is the sheer simplicity of each of these activities that appeal to him and are reflected through his Canvas.
He has been associated with SaffronArt for 4 years and has also worked with Art Galleries like – Svk Art, Saatchi, Londonart and Toxtethartgallery. Also, he has worked with Rajeev Sethi on projects like – Expo in Germany, ‘’Silk Route’’ Smithsonian festival, Washington DC, USA and Lotus Bazaar Forum, Barcelona, Spain.
