Our next Artist You Need To Know is ATUL DODIYA. He is regarded as one of India’s most important and most acclaimed artists after India’s independence from British colonial rule : Dodiya has never been easily categorized and is often cosmopolitan in his approach, attempting to reconcile historical references (both in the Indian cultural sphere and beyond) to have relevance in a contemporary context of both art and society. Synthesis is an element of his work, as he pulls from political discourse as well as Bollywood and art historical references that are both Indian and international. Dodiya “refuses to confine himself to a box neatly labelled with a national identity; his location in India serves him as a base from which to intervene in a variety of cultural and political histories to which the postcolonial self is heir.” Dodiya works in a wide variety of media, though usually in paint, but over his career he has produced works in a more ‘photo realist’ style, but also has employed metal shutters as ‘canvases’ (which are some of his better known works).
