Jaideep Mehrotra

Jaideep Mehrotra (born 1954) is an Indian contemporary artist based in Mumbai, India.

His inventive works are both rich in visual portrayal and intense in intellectual ideology, sometimes including socio-political commentary.

Pioneer of the digital medium as an art form in India,[7] Mehrotra has continually pushed the conceptual thresholds of his visual language to integrate different elements in his works – the historical with the contemporary, the traditional with the modern.

This foray has led him to work with oils, acrylics, fabric, resin, the digital domain of installations, web based art, Giclée, audio-visual depiction and short films.

[8] In his youth, Mehrotra was influenced by the surrealist movement and artists such as Salvador Dalí and Bikash Bhattacharjee
