Nagdev is best known for his abstract oil paintings in harmonious colors, though his later works include some representational art including human figures. He was one of the first few Indian artists to experiment fusion of Indian miniature Painting style with modern abstract style. He is a recipient of Shikhar Samman – highest civilian honor bestowed by MP Government.


Early life and education


At the age of 9, Nagdev started learning from signboard painters and assisting them, often working on movie hoardings and advertisement banners. He then studied fine art at Bharti Kala Bhavan, Ujjain, under the guidance of Dr. V.S. Wakankar, renowned archaeologist and artist. He assisted Dr. Wakankar in discovering and cataloging cave paintings of Bhim Betka – a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nagdev graduated from Sir J. J. School of Art, Bombay in 1961 and received an M.A. in ancient Indian History and Culture in 1962. In 1970, he was awarded an M.A. in Painting from Vikram University, Ujjain.[2]


Art career


Nagdev participated in around 40 solo and group exhibitions, in India, Nepal, Germany, Japan, and the UAE. His art works are in many important collections, including the National Gallery of Modern Art, Delhi, India and Osaka Contemporary Art Center, Japan.
