Baiju Parthan
Parthan didn’t initially want to be an artist - in Kerala, where he’s from, artists were considered to be at the bottom rung of society. However, in 1974, he came across a book about the history of Western art, and with the knowledge it imparted, from Impressionism to Expressionism and everything in-between, his interest in painting was revived.
Painting gave him a sense of self-worth, assigning a visual space in which he was king, in which he had the freedom to define himself, a freedom to just ‘be’. With that, he enrolled on and graduated in a BFA in Painting at Goa College of Art, Goa (1978-1983). -
Bhairavi Modi
Bhairavi Modi was born in 1980 in Ahmedabad, India. She studied a Post Diploma in Creative Painting at M.S University, Vadodara.
Her paintings reflect a part she feels she lacked as a child raised in the city – and that part was the ‘simplicity of village life’. Therefore, every time she paints, she strives to create this simple way of being, coupled with the desire to be at one with nature. -

Devdatta strives to integrate three major qualities into his paintings: simplicity, subtlety and innocence. He tries to portray rapport between human beings and nature, and to that effect, he depicts these subjects superbly with the use of subtle colours. -

Gogi Saroj Pal
This diverse artist works in a handful of mediums, from painting and graphic print, to jewellery and sculpture, from weaving and ceramics, to installations and photography.
Gogi’s creativity is shaped by her life and cultural identity, by her inner and outer world. She wants her work to be reflective of the times in which she lives in, leaving behind a legacy, a visual narrative that can be referred to in the future.
She often portrays women in her work, reflecting their roles and experiences in society. -
Gurcharan Singh
Born in 1949, the award-winning Gurucharan Singh’s work often reflects the plight of the underprivileged, the social underclass, the invisible, the exploited.
His paintbrush holds up a light to dark and torrid lives that desperately cling onto the fringes of society. In his work, prostitutes, the poor and the dejected all take on a renewed vigour, sometimes in explosive unapologetic hues of blues and reds, other times in more sedate (but no less powerful) tones, always creating a vivid alternate reality. His work succeeds in expressing a variety of sentiments that are very poignant indeed.
