Sudarshan Shetty

L’artiste

Né en 1961 à Mangalore, Sudarshan Shetty vit et travaille à Mumbai en Inde. D’abord formé comme peintre, il s’ouvre plus tard à la sculpture et aux installations, qui constituent désormais l’ensemble de son œuvre. Cet artiste conceptuel est connu pour ses installations sculpturales énigmatiques, souvent animées. Ses constructions hybrides et poétiques interrogent la fusion des traditions indiennes et occidentales mais aussi les préoccupations domestiques et la question du mouvement.
