Chintan Upadhyay: He is particularly known for his creations revolving around the theme of pop cultural symbolism and its influence in society. His creations force viewers to turn inward; they make us to look at ourselves. He often explores the iconography of Pop to convey his subject matter. His paintings carry references from media, advertisements, Bollywood and even the traditional miniature paintings.
Baiju Parthan: His fascination for technology, blended with his passion for mythology is palpable in his practice. The artist views them as symbiotic, as he thinks both mythology and technology feed off each other. He is in constant search of metaphors that can seamlessly be translated into artistic symbols. He has studied the Indian mystical arts, tantra, ritual arts, and Indian mythology that he includes in his contemporary art practices.
Riyas Komu: His oeuvre refers to the paradoxes of the urban situation that he paints with cynicism and compassion. The artist strives to archive the times, as well as reflect our immediate concerns – both localized and globalized. It is a striking reflection on the contemporary condition, and often appears to be a multiple space in which we are left grasping the moment, in order to release results or meaning.
Jagannath Panda: His style of painting is suited to his concerns, in sync with immediate surroundings of his home state Orissa and New Delhi where he now lives. In fact, he tends to draw energy from wherever he locates himself. In Jagannath Panda’s work a routine event or any commonplace object gets imparted with symbolic stature that is oriented to represent collective aspirations or sometimes rigid dogmas.
T.V. Santhosh: His works deal with complex contemporary issues like global unrest, conflict and violence. Particularly, the network of terror powered by scientific intelligence and technological advances -a kind of unholy nexus between knowledge and terror - comes under his scanner. The themes of violence, injustice, and inequality dominate his artistic agenda.
Drawing on images and news reports from the media, he combines pointed text and repetitive sculptural forms to make a statement on both the persistent nature of violence and the way it gradually becomes the norm, through recurrence.
