// Phantom Lady #22 by Pushpamala N., produced between 1996 and 1998, is a black-and-white gelatin silver print that offers a cinematic, noir-inspired portrayal of a woman in an urban setting. The photograph depicts the figure seated on a bench in what appears to be a deserted train station, surrounded by tracks and signal lights, under a web of overhead wires. The scene captures an atmosphere of solitude and suspense, with the composition suggesting a narrative yet leaving it ambiguous. Pushpamala N., known for her use of self-portraiture and staged photography, often explores themes related to identity, gender, and social roles in Indian society. The Phantom Lady series reinterprets archetypal female figures with a modern twist, questioning traditional representations of women. Limited to an edition of 10, this photograph resonates with the tension and mystery that characterize Pushpamala's unique visual language.

What is Contemporary art from India?
Contemporary art from India dates from 1985 to the present, marking the post-liberalization era. During this period, artists have felt free to create independently of traditional Hindu or social conventions. They often incorporate distinctly Indian materials and objects in their work, reflecting a blend of modern ideas and cultural heritage.
