Anju Dodiya was born in 1964 in Mumbai where she lives and works. Her paintings, acts of rebellion and exorcism, use the self-portrait form to explore the conflicts between inner life and external reality. The artist provides a new take on historical sources as varied as Indian miniatures, French medieval tapestries and newspaper photographs. Her paintings are striking in the contrast they create between the dramatic intensity of the subjects and the subtleties of how she produces them.
