Ajay Chavan l Artist l Expressionist l Abstract & Figurative Art.
A new avatar that he dons after an ardous journey in the field of advertising. Now a full time artist, part time Art Teacher and an art consultant for designers. He takes great pleasure in experimenting and working with different media and subjects to enrich his own life and the life of people around him. Ajay has exhibited his work across India in solo and group shows as well. If you are an art lover or an artist yourself, you would like to see his work on http://www.artisajay.com. A sneak peek at his past. Ajay Chavan has around 35 years experience in Advertising and nearly 20+ Years as an Artist. Ajay has an uncounted number of campaigns under his belt. After finishing his five years in Commercial Art Course from the Sir J J Institute of Applied Art, Mumbai, Ajay stepped into the mad world of ‘big ideas’ and ‘yesterday’ as deadlines. He was hooked. Now his passion has changed tracks and he is hooked on to painting.
For several years, I have been storing my work, traversing many territories of conception. I span several genres - but, holding always to a unity of vision, a vision that makes my art evolved, but not esoteric, accessible, but not banal. This applies as much to my nearly representational work as much as it does to my leaps of abstraction.
People whose judgment I respect say that technical skill refined over decades has given my work a sureness of line and form and as well as a certainty that infuses my work with a calm and serene flow. Almost nature’s flow.
I leave you to form your own opinion by viewing my gallery and my blog.
Ajay Chavan- Expressionist- Abstract & Figurative Art.
A life transformed. From being a full time Creative Director in advertising agencies to being a full time Artist. Ajay has been painting for nearly 25 years now. He rarely exhibited his work in galleries.
His advertising career building other brands kept him away from building himself as a brand. He started late having solo shows/ group shows and has exhibited his work in Mumbai & Bangalore.
He recently showcased his work at Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai.

I am writing criticism but not as an art-world critic. That, I am not. I am a photographer who has not had a single exhibition and cringe at the idea of someone reviewing my work with authority. At the same time I do not wish to gush over Ajay Chavan’s work simply because I own his paintings. I think I am a semi- informed outsider who is interested and not yet jaded.
I will, however, take dislike towards others in the visual arts (who are neither art historians nor art critics) if they criticize his work! What can I say to describe his work?
Style. Complexity. Fun.
