Vikrant Bhise (b. 1984, Mumbai) is an artist based in Mumbai. He completed his Bachelor’s degree from the L. S. Raheja School of Art in 2010 and a Post Diploma from the Sir J. J. School of Art in 2011. His practice engages with the legacies of caste, labour and resistance within the Ambedkarite consciousness. Through monumental scrolls and ink-on-paper works, Vikrant explores social justice, collective struggle and the endurance of protest. Drawing from histories of reform and revolutionary movements, his works mirror the urgency of civic resistance and the pursuit of equality as lived experience.
Vikrant was awarded a National Award by the Lalit Kala Akademi for his Series Impressions in 2018, and is a recipient of The Prince Claus Fund, The Netherlands (2025). His recent exhibitions include his solo Sense and Sensibilities: A Reflective Realisation, curated by Dr Y. S. Alone, Anant Art Gallery (Noida, 2024); The 36th Bienal de São Paulo (2025); The 13th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art (Berlin, 2025); ہم دیکھیں گے | We Will See, Experimenter – Colaba (Mumbai, 2024); and Human, curated by Katharina Domscheit-D’Souza, Jehangir Art Gallery (Mumbai, 2019).
