Starting with the Bengal School of Art, many contemporary painters have been influenced by modern styles and introduced a new form of art known as Contemporary Painting. Contemporary painting is regarded by many as the continuation of modern art. Most of the contemporary paintings depict abstractions of a physical motif.
The modern artists mostly use emotive color, abstract shapes and surface texture to compose contemporary paintings which are indeed classic pieces of art. The contemporary paintings are believed to contain elements that will just balance on the border between representation and abstraction. With a detrimental frenzy of exploration and experimentation, the cycle of redefining contemporary paintings by the Indian artists is frantically evolving in unfathomable expectations.
Indian Contemporary Paintings
The themes of Indian Contemporary paintings are both potent and rooted. One word which can best describe the contemporary paintings of India is ‘eclectic'. The Indian painters have adopted various styles and techniques from all the over the world and developed contemporary paintings into a classic art form to convey Indian experiences and sensibilities. The contemporary paintings of India do not merely depict pretty landscapes; in fact they are believed to be responsible proponents of ideas. The Indian subcontinent has a galaxy of successful and popular artists whose contemporary paintings are widely acclaimed worldwide such as M.F. Hussain , Bikash Bhattachrya , Anjolie Ela Menon.
