Haridas Contemporary congratulates Jeremy Sharma on a successful 3-month AIR at the Nieuw en Meer guest studio, culminating in a presentation of works produced during the period.

Situated within the beautiful surroundings of the Oeverlanden, Amsterdam, the guest studio offers the ideal environment for artists in terms of personal reflection and concentration, as well as for exchange and collaborations with artists from our community.

This practice-as-research project, that was developed during the Nieuw en Meer Residency proposes an autoethnographic inquiry into painting, travel, and drift. It situates painting not as a self-contained act, but as a dialogic, reflexive process. Shaped by place, memory, conversations and mediation. Its objectives explore the role of the painter as a “passenger” within European art historical and cultural discourse and also interrogate the fragmentation and contingency of images in the context of digital and post-capitalist societies.
