Satish Joshi

Satish Joshi was born in India in 1945. He graduated from the New Delhi College of Art in 1968 with an honors degree in painting and printmaking and moved to New York in 1969. He has taught at Riverdale Country School since 1974. Satish was on the Board of Directors of Phoenix Gallery in New York City, and is a founding member of Art on Main Street in Yonkers. Satish Joshi is known professionally by his first name.

Satish began as a painter and printmaker and moved gradually into the realm of sculpture in the 1980s. His paintings represent a continuum of a technical and aesthetic style that he began developing in the early 1970s. He has explored a number of different themes and styles. Working on shaped palettes of wood, Satish gives the viewer the illusion of being inside, gazing outward through a window, while simultaneously sharing his inner private vision. He has explored other elements of the natural landscape in his Sunflower series, his abstract landscapes of the American southwest, and his Reflections paintings of the late 1990s and early 2000s.


Stone and steel sculpture became important aspects of Satish's oeuvre in the mid-1980s. He is self-taught in both media. His steel pieces fall into two categories, found object assemblage and “drawings on steel.” His alabaster and marble sculptures range from table-sized pieces to monumental scale installation works. Rqo of those were commissioned and installed by Riverdale Country School. Celebration is a 12' limestone male torso seated on a base that contains engraved representations of all the arts; Out of The Past is a standing male nude, partially exposed from a 15' limestone block. His marble work includes a 12' long, 14,000 pound, reclining male nude, installed in a private setting in Southampton. Additional private commissions include a 30' found object metal wall and representational pieces in steel and stone.
