Anjolie
Ela Menon
One of India's most accomplished painters, she has created a body of work
of great beauty and depth over the last four decades. Her paintings reveal
a deep sensibility, profoundly individual in perception, yet diverse in
its sympathies: often Indian in subject, yet dwelling in some undefined
territory. Padmashree.

Vivan
Sundaram
A doyen of contemporary Indian art, this complex and innovative artist
left the genre of paintings and now creates evocative installation art.
Jatin Das, a celebrated artist is a master of expression. Jatin's single
largest preoccupation is with the human figure.
It is his major obsession, which consumes him totally and directs his
irrepressible creative energies, infusing his works with a pervasive dynamism.

Krishen
Khanna
Krishen has been preoccupied in his work with the state and fate of man
of our times. In a sense, his work is a graphic record, a visual documentation.
What makes it art and lifts it out of the transient, are the abiding elements
of the tragic, the sublime and the ridiculous, which are woven into it.

Sanjay
Bhattacharyya
Now only 36, Sanjay Bhattacharya has already made a name for himself in
our major cities. He is one of the painters who refused to be restricted
by the inevitable academism of his student days. He explores the drama
in the lives of people, be they hunched and crowded in cities like Calcutta
or spread in the hinterland."

Manu
Parekh
A multifaceted person with activities ranging from stage acting to
stage designing to handicrafts & handlooms to his credit, this contemporary
artist has sought to transmute his feelings about the pain and anguish
in the world in a series of expressionistic images through his canvases
all his life. Padmashree.

Madhvi
Parekh
She has situated herself in the space of contemporary art practice, yet
reverts for inspiration, from time to time, to her childhood village left
far behind. With her personal well articulated language of expression,
Madhvi positions herself in a space outside the tradition-modernity discourse
while crossing borders both ways.

Vasundhara
Tewari
Her simultaneous tryst with the female human figure as the
inner centre the outer world of myriad colours that has a life
of its own, accords Vasundhara a special place in the contemporary art of
India.

Ram V.
Sutar
A blessed child of Goddess Saraswati, this great sculptor, now in his seventies,
is one of India's signature talents, specially when it comes to executing
monumental works. Padmashree

Rameshwar
Broota
Head of the Art Deptt. Triveni Kala Sangam since
1967, and winner of three National Awards, deep sensitivity and creative.
Broota has given a new genius dimension to aesthetics in Contemporary Indian
Art.

Anupam Sud
One of the most accomplished print artists of contemporary Indian art scene,
Anupam Sud is endowed with a innovative and subtle creativity. Anupam Sud's
art consolidates her humanistic leanings over her feminist ones, reflecting
upon the nature of humanity in all it's forms. She works, one might say,
with a social and political consciousness that may not be radical, but
effects a subtle intervention and speculation rather than statement.
Rini Dhumal is a creative genius, fired by her print-making/graphics
background, her works are fused with a special vibrancy and balance of form,
colour and gifted craftsmanship.
Arpana Caur is reclusive talent of very high caliber. Her work
is ingrained in the Indian psyche and folklore, and exudes a special charm
coming forth from her deeply spiritual core of being.
