Contemporary painters and artists express the synthesis of a mixture of movements and styles in their work. They presented a variety of visual expressions and forms of various schools. They are delightfully harmonized with the aestheticism of the art of painting. In the work of leading artists far-reaching and innovative directions are reflected.

Forms of Expressions and Impetus of Contemporary Paintings
The variety of currents influencing Indian society appeared to boost up in complex time. Scores of artists went for new and imbibing styles of expression. The significant development overlapped with the materialization of novel galleries that took interest to endorse a broader series of art forms, for instance, Nature Morte in Delhi and its collaborator gallery Bose Pacia Gallery (New York and Kolkata). To add, Talwar Gallery in New Delhi and New York stands for a to-do list of assorted and globally renowned artists from India. The exodus maintains that the one who is present is the artist and not the art. In the year 2006, April, in UK, The Noble Sage Art Gallery was opened to concentrate entirely in Indian, Sri Lankan and Pakistani up to date art. The Noble Sage visualized their gallery as an opening to stage the South Indian present-day art scene, rather than looking to the Mumbai, Delhi, Mewar and Baroda schools. They predominantly focused on the work that came up from the Madras School. Ironically, plenty of artists were fashioned at the same, the nonexistence of gallery or white cube hold for newer endeavors. The absence of such galleries produced artists who were associated to the Bangalore art scene and those who shaped a sagacity of art-activism or art-community in a positive sense such as Surekha's ‘Communing With Urban Heroins’ in 2008 and ‘Un-Claimed and Other Urban F(r)ictions’ in 2010.

Versatility of Contemporary Indian Paintings
Contemporary Indian paintings are influenced from various parts of the planet. A number of artists flew to the West; the remaining ones expressed themselves while amalgamating their past with their up to date in western culture. For instance, Shyamal Dutta Ray was apprehensive about Bengal and village life, new artists such as Shreya Chaturvedi believes art should articulate for itself. According to her, today’s art must be in touch with the common public, it should connect to them and encourage them through some grand message or idea behind it.

Increase in communication regarding Indian art, in English and vernacular Indian languages as well, made it suitable in which art was professed in the art schools. Critical approach became exact and lead to re-thinking contemporary art practice in India.


Contemporary Indian Painting is wonderfully varied since the break of 21st century. Abstract work of art in contemporary India is gaining popularity day by day and as a means of owning inexpensive modern art. The last decade has seen increase in popularity of Art magazines such as Art India from Mumbai, Art and Deal, New Delhi, (edited and published by Siddharth Tagore) and Art etc from Emami Chisel, (edited by Amit Mukhopadhyay). These art magazines complemented the catalogues created by the particular galleries.
