Born in 1961 in Mangalore, Sudarshan Shetty is a towering presence in contemporary Indian art. Shetty was initially trained as a painter, but later turned to sculpture and installations which now account for all of his practice. Widely exhibited around the world, Shetty is a conceptual artist who is renowned for his enigmatic and often mechanised sculptural installations. Sudarshan Shetty’s art-world reflects contemporary urban life. By stimulating the memories of people's childhood and their playful-mind filled with curiosity, he cleverly escapes from the globalism that homogenised the world and innocently plots to overthrow the value system led by politics and the economy.
Sudarshan Shetty has been regularly creating artworks since the 90s and mostly works on sculpture and installations. His work envisions a lyrical world full of playfulness and freedom liberated from political issues. It displays an intriguing combination of the representational and the abstract.
The artist strives to escape from the social framework, and at the same time, tries to collect scattered fragments of daily life. Through the process of editing and applying these (fragments), he superimposes various facets of contemporary society.
Academics
Bachelor of Fine Arts, Sir J.J. School of Art, Mumbai (1980 to 85)
Awards
Artist of the year, India Today Art Awards, 2017
Sanskriti Award, New Delhi, 1997
