Artist Who’s Works Are Treasure Now

Title- Women from Kabul, Atul-Dodia

Atul Dodia is IndiaN Contemporary art’s next Master whose art works are now going to be treasure worth collecting. Born in Mumbai in 1959, Atul Dodiya, one of the most creative and serious contemporary artist today, completed his Bachelor in Fine Arts from the Sir J. J. School of Arts in 1982.”Atul came into prominence in 1999 with his series on Mahatma Gandhi, where the painter sought to reconstruct images from a forgotten biography of the leader. His watercolors led the Mahatma out of the tumultuous pages of history into the gentle sepia-washed terrain of his canvas. Gandhi was given a new lease of life with sensitive brush strokes. A rich burnt sienna reaffirmed the strength and spirit of Gandhi beneath the frail ‘minimalist’ body. Luminous yellow-whites merged into deep ambers”. Says Atul, “There was a strong sense of aesthetics running through Gandhi’s life — whether it is khadi, (homespun fabric) his choice of dress, the architecture of the Sabarmati ashram, fasting, non-cooperation or the charkha (the wheel used for spinning the yarn). He had a fine artistic way of doing things.” His some other important shows are listed below.
