Les artistes
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.
Born in 1974 in Mumbai, Jitish Kallat is one of the most promising artists of his generation. Jitish Kallat’s work, imbued with autobiographical, political and artistic references, forms a narrative of the cycle of life in a rapidly changing India. Weaving together strands of sociology, biology and archaeology, the artist takes an ironic and poetic look at the altered relationship between nature and culture.
