Padma Bhushan Krishen Khanna, considered as one of the greatest painters of contemporary Indian art, was born in 1925 at Lyallpur, now Faisalabad in Pakistan. Krishen Khanna’s dynamic body of works cannot be separated from his social and political contexts. Being part of a generation that transitioned through various political phases of the subcontinent, Khanna has positioned his art as an important tool to comment on his immediate social realities. Whether they represent the struggles of the independence movement, the trauma of the partition, or the aspirations of the modern nation, Khanna anchored the artist as an active participant and critical commentator in all these moments. His paintings utilise allegory and symbolism effectively to fulfill these conditions. Widely exhibited since his early career, Khanna is one of the pioneers of modern Indian art.
