Suryakant Lokhande is a multi-award winning artist and sculptor whose works are seen in the homes of Indian and international art collectors.

Suryakant enjoys the entire process of painting or sculpting. “For me it is a purposeless search for the unknown where I am creating a fictional character and at times reconfirm the absurdity of the unreal world, which at times, makes us aware of ourselves.”

He won best entry of the year by Dr. Jane Goodall Institute, Germany in 2001 and he was also awarded and granted scholarship from The Pollock Krasner Foundation, New York in 2003. Many are not aware that he is also a talented filmmaker and he won best entry of the year for Asian artists category for his film ” Kids are Alright”, at Shanghai Museum in 2007. Suryakant was also awarded the Best Artist Maharashtra State Art Award from Vilasrao Deshmukh in 2008 and Bombay Art Society’s Governor award from P. Alexander in 2009.
