Tarik Currimbhoy, the accomplished sculptor and artist, was born in Mumbai, India. He currently resides and works in New York City. His artistic journey is a fascinating blend of classical training in the arts, industrial design, and architecture. After graduating from Cornell University with a Master of Arts and the Pratt Institute with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and Master of Architecture, Tarik went on to teach drawing at Cornell and design at Pratt.

In his practice, Tarik searches for tranquility, simplicity, and tactility, expressed in purity of both form and material. Inspired by ancient architecture of building blocks resting on each other in tension and compression, Tarik uses handcrafting and ancient casting techniques to create distilled forms driven by these forces of nature. His sculptures are “stories of structure and gravity”, held together under compression in stone and metal.

The essential issues that are explored in Tarik’s sculptures are those of gravity, balance, movement, stasis and all addressed with formal beauty and fineness that belays the underlying exactitude of the mathematical calculations.

Tarik has mastered the juxtaposition of the old and the new creating sculptures that are modern and minimal in form. His design work has been published internationally and his sculptures may be found across the world in public spaces, and corporate and private collections.
