Sunil Krishna Garg (born February 19, 1952) is an Indian-American visual artist and sculptor,[1] who specializes in kinetic light sculpture. Born in Delhi, India, he lives and works in New Jersey, where he has a studio at Mana Contemporary.[2]

Early life and education

Sunil Garg was born on February 19, 1952, in Dankaur, a town 33 miles (54 km) southeast of new Delhi, in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh [3] His first solo exhibition as a painter was at the Shridharani Gallery in Triveni Kala Sangam in New Delhi in 1971.[4][5]

He studied chemistry at St. Stephen's College at the University of Delhi then continued graduate studies in the U.S. in 1972, earning his MA and Ph.D. in chemistry at Stevens Institute of Technology.[6]

An accomplished sitar player,[7] he accompanied many well known avant-garde jazz musicians in the late 1970s in clubs, and recording sessions with The 360 Degree Music Experience, led by Beaver Harris and Dave Burrell,[8] including the acclaimed album In: Sanity[9] to which DownBeat awarded five stars[10] and Allmusic[11] and The Rolling Stone Jazz and Blues Album Guide[12] both awarded 4 stars.

Career

While working at Celanese Corporation, where he served in both scientific and executive roles, he earned a law degree and, in 1986, went on to practice environmental law as well as serving as the executive director of the Union County, New Jersey Utilities Authority.[13]

During this time he continued making art, ultimately returning to it full time.[14] His work and installations have been displayed at The Queens Museum, the Morris Museum, the Lehman College Art Gallery, Sculpture Key West, the Fashion Institute of Technology, the Olbrich Botanical Gardens in Madison, Wisconsin, and Fairmount Park, in Philadelphia.

In 2025, he was the recipient an Individual Artist Fellowship based on artistic merit, by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.[15]

He is a resident of Summit, New Jersey.[16]
