Hemi Bawa (born 1948)[1] is an Indian painter and sculptor. Her works include acrylic and glass paintings and sculptures made of cast glass, fibre glass and copper-fired glass.[2]
Bawa was born in Delhi and did not have any formal training when she started painting in 1962.[3] Later, she studied Scandinavian glassmaking techniques and started working on that medium and also in combination with metal, wood and acrylic.[4] In 1996, Coca-Cola commissioned her for a sculpture, to be displayed during the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta and the eight-foot high work is now on display at the Coca-Cola Museum in the city.[2][5] She has had solo and group exhibitions in India and abroad, including the Glass Dimension show[6] and India Art Fair 2012 at Delhi.[7]
The Government of India awarded her the fourth highest civilian honour of the Padma Shri, in 2009, for her contributions to Arts.[8] Her life and works have been documented in Hemi Bawa, a book by Alka Pande, published in 2010.[9] She is married to Inderjit Singh Bawa, an industrialist, and the couple lives in Delhi, along Hailey Road.[10]
