About

George Chakravarthi was born in New Delhi, India and lives and works in London.

As a multi-disciplinary artist he draws inspiration from cinema, art history, public and private spaces, and from collective social histories. Chakravarthi engages the viewer with his exploration of universal emotions. Using experiences from his own life, he often reveals painful situations, memories and experiences with an acute sensibility, cogent perceptions and generous humanity.

He has performed and exhibited nationally and internationally from venues as diverse as The Site Gallery, Royal Academy of Arts, Tate Modern, The Victoria and Albert Museum, UK, Mousonturm, Germany, Tilburg Dance Academy, The Netherlands, The Queens Gallery, India to museums and other public sites.
