From India to Venice
A Selection of Works by Indian Artists from an Esteemed European Collection

The following selection of works by artists living and working in India are linked by a mutual theme of exploration into the changing environment in which they are created and the influence of both Eastern and Western culture. Housed in an esteemed European collection, this year Atul Dodiya's and Shilpa Gupta's work has been selected to represent India at the country's second ever appearance on the Western stage of the Venice Biennale.

Jagannath Panda's works are often inspired by his native historic state Orissa, famed for its temples and tribal culture, and his current home, chaotically urban and constantly developing New Delhi, bringing together many binary opposites in his work. Sensitive to the issues raised by urbanisation and politics, Panda contrasts nature and culture, rural and urban, tradition and modernisation to reflect his own experiences and concerns. Migrant uses his motif of animal life to represent these conflictions and concerns around displacement and alienation. Jagannath Panda has received significant international exposure and recognition, having participated in a multitude of international exhibitions including the Mori Art Museum, Tokyo, in 2008.
