List of products by manufacturer Nayanaa Kanodia

Born 1950 in Pune, Nayanaa Kanodia completed her graduation in Economics from Delhi University before her foray into art for which she underwent a year’s apprenticeship with Anjolie Ela Menon after which she continued to work on her own refining and evolving her technique further. 

Nayanaa’s canvases and paper works that include oils and gouache attempt to express the bipolarity, typical of contemporary Indian society standing at the crossroads. She depicts people- Gujarati, Parsi and Mumbaikars and their everyday life and street scenes in a joyful, chatty and satirical way with a remarkable attention to detail, almost like photo-features. Amongst the few Indian artists practicing 'Naive Art', Nayanaa’s portraits and scenes turn evocative brimming with humour, spice and colour. There are street vendors, flower sellers, Bollywood stars and images from her city that appear in a curious mix of charm and theatricality. Nayanaa’s work has been exhibited widely in over 20 solo and many more group-shows at leading art spaces in India and abroad, including London, Washington, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Paris. She lives and works in Mumbai.
