Article Index Gurbux Singh Theathi Page 2 Page 3 Page 3 of 3 He returned to India in 1983, and until 1987 worked as a freelance artist mainly painting for Museums. The subjects were Hindu Mythology and Sikh History. He returned to U.K. in 1987 and as a freelance painter, painted for various communities at temples, gurdwaras, community centres and private venues. A very interesting mural was painted by him depicting -History of Southall-, which was highly acclaimed by the then leader of the Labour Party Rt. Hon. Neil Kinnock, and stands as a gesture to this great artist. His paintings in certain restaurants and Hotels also capture the romantic moods of myth and romance. In 1996 he received a prestigious award of the "Asia Films Awards 1996", which was indeed a feather in the cap of this prolific painter. I personally know S. Gurbux Singh Theathi, and found him an excellent, down to earth person, whose immense knowledge of Art has never gone to his head, and he remains a humble, a very knowledgeable and a pious human being. Recently he was awarded the "Sobha Singh Award" by the Khalsa Award Committee of Canada. There are a number of paintings used in this web site, which are the masterpieces of this artist. Some are displayed next, which are very rare paintings, one of which even Mr. Theathi does not remember doing in his apprentice days, brought here by courtesy of Dr. Chan. << Prev - Next
