// Four Cancer Logos by Peter Nagy, a lithograph created in 1988, reflects the artist's exploration of symbolism, abstraction, and the impact of commercial imagery on perception. This piece features four circular, intricate designs that appear to blend organic and mechanical forms. Rendered in stark black and white, each logo resembles distorted emblems, possibly evoking cells or microscopic forms, while also suggesting industrial elements. The ambiguous forms invite viewers to interpret their connection to the title Cancer, which could hint at themes of mutation, industrial pollution, or societal issues related to commercialization and consumer culture. With only 30 prints in this edition, this work is a rare and thought-provoking commentary on modern life’s entanglement with corporate and environmental influences.

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.
