About Sarjapura Curries
Sarjapura Curries is home grown art project of well-accomplished artist, Mr Suresh Kumar G. It has been his dream project since he was a little boy, who visited his maternal grandparents’ Village in sub-urban Bangalore known as Sarjapura. Being an alumnus of a well-known art school, Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath and College of Art, New Delhi, Suresh has unique gift of looking at mundane day today objects and routine in a most exquisite yet simple innovative form. He has been envisaging the idea of village, its people and their routine in a way that is contemporary yet ancient, traditional yet secular and most importantly holistic in its core.

Since known history, small settlement of people who choose to live close to each other has been the building block of the human civilization, and this basic building block came to be known as Village. Sarjapura Curries is the very representation of what a village stands for, full of green patches, community that comes together to share harvest and exchange seed and saplings, a learning ground for youngsters to develop skills, art and social bonding. Where trust comes before transaction, where health comes before profit.

Suresh with his unique personality and vision has secured a space in the land as well as the heart of his village people whom he dearly refers to as his own family. He has successfully converted a village community centre into a living thriving breeding grounds of weeds that are actually edible greens. The age old skill of foraging in the wilderness for greens and veggies has been lost in today’s world, Suresh has painstaking grown and nurtures these rare variety of greens along with other lost varieties of vegetables in the villages of B.Hosahalli and V.Kallahalli in Sarjapura Hobli, Anekal Taluk.
