Notable original artworks made by Contemporary Indian artists
Contemporary Indian art is a rich and diverse field, showcasing the talent and creativity of numerous artists. Some of the most well-known original artworks made by these artists include:
"The Black Sun" by Anish Kapoor, created in 1988. This sculpture is a large, circular shape made of polished stainless steel, which reflects and distorts the surrounding environment. The sculpture is both beautiful and disorienting, playing with the viewer’s perception of space and light.
"Untitled" by Subodh Gupta, created in 2004. This installation consists of a large pile of stainless steel utensils, which are arranged to create a shimmering, reflective surface. The artwork is a commentary on the consumerist culture of modern India, and the impact of globalization on traditional ways of life.
"Everything Is Inside" by Bharti Kher, created in 2007. This sculpture is a life-size elephant, covered in thousands of white bindis (traditional Indian forehead decorations). The artwork is both beautiful and unsettling, evoking themes of identity, femininity, and cultural traditions.
"The Wayfarers" by Jitish Kallat, created in 2011. This installation is a series of 100 3D-printed human skulls, arranged in the shape of a boat. The skulls are covered in text, which tells the stories of people who have migrated to and from India over the centuries. The artwork is a powerful commentary on the human experience of migration, displacement, and cultural exchange.
"Aar Paar" by Shilpa Gupta, created in 2013. This installation is a series of mirrors, arranged to create the illusion of a never-ending tunnel. The mirrors are inscribed with the words "Aar Paar" (a Hindi phrase meaning "this way or that way"), which encourages viewers to contemplate their own choices and decisions in life.
These artworks are just a small selection of the many incredible pieces created by contemporary Indian artists. Each one is a testament to the power of creativity, imagination, and emotional expression in the world of art.
