A painter and installation artist, Joshi’s simultaneously sinister and comical creations reflect a sensitivity to urban alienation and cultural displacement. In his installations, Joshi uses beamed light to project a juxtaposition of strange, sculpted ceramic objects and dissected, dismembered toys onto the wall of an imagined space. In this way, the artist’s fictive hybrid man-toy-animals are transformed back into two silhouetted dimensions that simulate a traditional picture plane.

Tushar Joag (born 1966, Bombay,India) Started a project in 2004 called UNICELL Public Works cell. UNICELL is a one person organization that mimics a corporate setup or government bureaucracy. Through UNICELL he suggests absurd solutions to the urban situations around him. Through UNICELL he seeks to make interventions in the urban space, by designing and producing objects that are functional, and aesthetic. The idea is to bring into focus through UNICELL the various concerns of the immediate situation in a satirical way.
