Sangram Majumdar was born in Kolkata, India and received an MFA from Indiana University and a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design.  He lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.  Since 2003 he has been teaching painting and drawing full time at the Maryland Institute College of Art. He is represented by Steven Harvey Fine Art Projects, NY.

Sangram Majumdar is a studio-based painter whose work is rooted in careful and daily observation of his surroundings.  Done from perception and over multiple sessions, his subject ranges from found and fabricated objects, to people who are both familiar and strange, and the studio itself. Some of the paintings hold on to their naturalistic origins, an echo of the original experience. In others, the once found object or seen moment is transformed in favor of a place that is neither/or and both here and there.
