Bhanwar lal Girdhari lal Sharma (B. G. Sharma) is an award-winning painter from Rajasthan, India.[1] He is famous for his miniature devotional paintings and his rejuvenation and popularization of classic Rajasthan art, including the Mughal, Kishangarh, and Kangra styles.[2]
Sharma was born August 5, 1924 in Nathdwara, a small town near Udaipur.[3] Nathdwara is home to the Shrinathji Krishna temple complex, which supports an artists community. Sharma's family had been artists for generations.[2]
Sharma has been exhibited internationally in London, Germany and the United States. The Shri B.G.Sharma Art Gallery in Udaipur contains an extensive collection of his works.[4]
Former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, British monarch Queen Elizabeth II and former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser all commissioned portraits by Sharma.[2][3] His various awards include India's National Art Award for Master Craftsman.
A collection of Sharma's artwork was published in September 2000 titled Form of Beauty: The Krishna Art of B.G.Sharma.[5]
