Short Bio


Sunil Garg
 

Born in Dankaur (U.P.) India. Lives in Summit, NJ, works in Summit, East Orange and Newark, NJ.
​
After a long business and legal career, with forays in art, I started making art full time 5 years ago. I have had good enablers along the way. I did not make a conscious effort to develop a style; I let it happen to me.

​I am an experimental light and illumination artist, making indoor and outdoor immersive work. I paint and sculpt natural and computer programmed Light, with reflections, movement and shadows. We take light for granted as a functional utility, but light is unavailable to millions on Earth after dark. I grew up without manufactured light in a farming community in India. We lived with the natural light we had. I now explore manufactured light.


I strive to create work that interrogates my experiences and is at the edge of familiarity and stimulates aware states. Light is a natural and democratic medium that lets me do this. Metaphors linking Light to knowledge, awareness, thought, ideas, are abundant: “enlightenment”, “bright ideas”, “flashes of genius” or of “insight”. 
I want to entice viewers to slow down and see and contemplate light and color in their lives. I want everyone to “eat light, drink it through our skins” since “with a little more exposure to light, you feel part of things physically.” (Turrell).

I was a resident at Gallery Aferro in Newark and was selected to exhibit in competitive Call for Chelsea and Call for Bushwick exhibitions. I have exhibited in “open call” group and on invitation by local curators. My large-scale, site-specific public art installations (in and outdoors) have been exhibited in Newark, NJ, Key West, FL, Madison, WI, Summit, NJ and Long Beach Island, NJ. 
​
My work has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, Hyperallergic, Artefuse, and other media. A mini-documentary on my work was selected for the New Filmmakers’ Festival.
