Painter and sculptor Jitish Kallat’s particular brand of individuality plays out through a body of work as outspoken as it is imaginative and engaged. Violence, aggression, caste, class, religion, the tragic and the resilient, the celebratory and the contemplative, the megascape and the microscopic — there is no layer of Indian life and metropolis that Jitish has not put on canvas and sculpture.
And in The Urban Forensic, one of India’s most celebrated and edgy philosopher-artists turns his gaze inward as he x-rays self, city and country with illuminating frankness.
