+ OVERVIEW

Sacha Jafri was born in 1977 in the UK. Immersed in the high society, Jafri studied at Eton College, and in 1999 he received his BA from Oxford University, awarded The 2000 British Painters Prize, and rose to international prominence. Celebrities including David Beckham, Barack Obama, Bill Gates and George Clooney are among his collectors. In 2009, he exhibited alongside S. H. Raza, M. F. Husain and Anish Kapoor during the exhibition taking place at the Rayal Academy, London. “I want to be the Kandinsky of my time”, the artist said. Field of Dreams completed between 2004 and 2005 has been showed in Jafri Meets Warhol exhibition. The image is composed of magical lines swaying on the surface of the canvas, with figurative elements that seem to remain. The composition is seemingly random and visually arresting.
