VALAY SHENDE
Valay Shende is an Indian sculptor and artist. His life-size sculptural installations question the maladies afflicting urban society, especially in his home country of India. Concerned with the common-man’s tribulations of everyday life, Valay’s keen observations reveal themselves through skillfully rendered objects, profiles and symbols. Superbly crafted and intensely articulate, Valay’s sculptures reveal an artistic, social and moral vision wrought with physical and metaphysical presence. Valay received his Diploma in Art Education in Nagpur in 2000 before graduating with a BFA in sculpture in 2004 from the Sir J.J. School of Art in Mumbai.
