Artist Profile
CR Hembram
A concise editorial profile built from the available published references, centered on the Foundation’s featured work CR Hembram - Artwork 557.
Awards & Honours
A December 2012 Telegraph report said C.R. Hembram was among 12 artists selected from 1,100 entries for a national Lalit Kala Akademi award, with a January 2013 ceremony expected. This is presented here as a reported selection, not as a later independently verified award presentation.
Biography
One 2012 Telegraph profile described C.R. Hembram as based in Ghatshila and, at that time, teaching art at a Navodaya Vidyalaya in Garhwa.
A 2016 Kalasamvaad post credits paintings to CR Hembram (Jharkhand, India). These references are quoted cautiously and should not be read as current biographical details.
Exhibitions
The same Telegraph report said selected works would be displayed at the All India Art Exhibition organized by Lalit Kala Akademi in Bhubaneswar. That is noted here as a planned display reported in 2012, not as independently confirmed attendance.
No other exhibitions were found in the cited sources.
Collection
One published Foundation work featured here. This page features the Foundation’s published inventory item CR Hembram - Artwork 557 as the highlighted work. It is a single featured object, not a full count of the artist’s wider practice or holdings.
