Original Signed Artworks & Limited Edition Prints For Sale

Chintan Upadhyay initially began his career as a painter, but has since gone on to create installations and sculptures – the surfaces of which he paints. Upadhyay’s work encompasses both abstract expressionism and traditional miniatures – his usage of flat tints of vivid colour pays homage to his native India, while the subjects and the style bridges the gap between tradition and modern art.

« Contemporary culture! The way we think. India boasted a culture of free thinking. This is what India was. »

Among his sculptures, the Pet Shop project is perhaps his most recognised – the project is a series of sculptures comprised of ‘model babies’ for every season, Baby Fetish. Asides from his creative outputs, Upadhyay founded Sandarbh, a non-profit organization created to promote and raise awareness of the arts in the more rural areas of India – the foundation hosts several workshops and programs and is renowned for uniting artists all over India and also has an extensive reach across the globe.

What is figurative art?

Sometimes known as Figurativism. It particularly describes sculptures and paintings clearly or specifically derived from sources of real objects hence they are representational as the name suggests "figurative art". This term is often used as a contrast for abstract art. However, since the coming of abstract art, this term has been used to mean any form of modern art with strong references to the actual/real world situation.
