Govinder Nazran (1964 – 2008) was an artist based in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. Govinder

Nazran started his career as a graphic designer. He was mostly known for his paintings of

animals, primarily of cats and dogs, but also of horses and elephants. The animals were more

often than not made up of Rothkoesque blocks of colour and were often embellished with gold leaf,

glitter, staples, string and other objects. Many of Govinder's animals came in pairs focusing on

themes such as opposites, yin and yang, family, love, good versus evil and mr and mrs.
Apart from painting animals, Govinder produced many sculptures based upon his paintings as well

as figurative and totally abstract works.
He has many collectors in the UK, US and Japan.
Govinder died in December 2008 following an accident in his home in Saltaire.
