Chintan Upadhyay

5th June to 11th July

Sakshi Gallery, Taipei


Chintan Upadhyay has developed a particular language over the years and is one of the few contemporary artists who has remained consistent with exploring a single language of art completely his own. Over the last few years Chintan has been depicting images of babies in his work. These babies are usually male and have Indian miniatures painted on them. They have very exaggerated features, however each one of them has a very emotive face. Chintan Upadhyay in this new series attempts to understand and explore the relationship man has forged with nature. He has been looking at the different aspects of cultural hybridism through his works, however in this series he attempts to move beyond societies and look at a much broader perspective.
