Sekhar Roy

Sekhar Roy's works shown here reflect the diversity of a contemporary scene that plays as much with Western codes as with Indian traditional art. Sekhar Roy is deeply impacted by the cultural past of his country, ranging from medieval texts and icons to a colonial heritage. While Sekhar Roy encourages us to rediscover domestic indigenous space and archaeology force to reconstruct the gap between image and word, statement, and understanding. His paintings relate to the subcontinent’s history, and also gender roles in this part of the world.
