Description
Atul Dodiya's complex and vibrant works draw on western influences and eastern traditions. This book captures Dodiya's enormous range - from his early photo-realist paintings depicting middle-class life to his daring and ingenious assemblages that brilliantly fuse European and Indian artistic styles, history, and cultural references. In addition to exquisite reproductions of Dodiya's colourful art, this volume includes a brand new interview with the artist and brings together informed and thoughtful essays written by critics and curators. AUTHOR: Ranjit Hoskote is a poet, cultural theorist, and independent curator. In addition to publishing five volumes of poetry, he has curated more than twenty exhibitions on contemporary Indian art. His essays have appeared in numerous books and anthologies. 300 colour illustrations
