'''S. G. Vasudev''' (born 1941 in [[Mysuru]], to S.K. Gopal and Rathnamma<ref>[http://www.sumukha.com/artist_info.asp?artist=S.G.%20Vasudev Sumukha]</ref>) is an alumnus of [[Government College of Fine Arts, Chennai]] and one of the longtime artists [[National Gallery of Modern Art, Bangalore|associated]] with [[Cholamandal Artists' Village]]. He was married to the late [[Arnavaz]] there and currently stays in [[Bangalore]]. He is one of the most prominent painters in [[Karnataka]] and has held art shows in many parts of the world and his works are in collections at various galleries. He has won many awards in [[India]] and abroad.<ref>[http://www.vasudevart.com/ Vasudevart]</ref><ref>[http://www.indianartcollectors.com/artistname.php?aid=293 Indian Art Collectors]</ref>

He was quoted on his art works in an interview: "As you know, there are a few distinct and recurring themes in my works. One of them is “Vriksha” or the Tree of Life. I in fact unknowingly discovered this theme. I was initially fascinated with the tree and painted many pictures with the tree juxtaposed with other elements. Gradually the tree moved to the center of the stage and started absorbing various elements and forms; just like the gigantic banyan tree which is so amorphous and protective.

Later I explored the essence and nature of a man-woman relationship through contrasting forms and colors. The theme of Maithuna stands for the union between the female and the male principles – the prakriti and the purusha – that exist in nature, almost in a yin-yang fusion of being. Later on, I made a series of paintings and called it – “Humanscapes”, “Earthscapes”, and “Theatre of Life.”"<ref>[http://www.knowyourstar.com/sg-vasudev-interview/ SG Vasudev – Reflecting Life with Colors and Shades]</ref>

[[National Gallery of Modern Art, Bangalore]] held the retrospective exhibition of Vasudev spanning over 30 years of his works in September, 2018 which was curated by [[Sadanand Menon]] [https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/art/a-retrospective-traces-the-sustained-and-spiralling-resonance-of-sg-vasudevs-works/article24841932.ece]
