Artville Contemporary Artist Of The Day
Devajyoti Ray
Medium: Acrylic Painting
Size: 48 x 60 in
Born: 1974, IndiaRay is credited with the begining of a new style of Art in India. It is called Pseudorealism. It involves use of offbeat colours that do not correspond to the real world. Yet the scenes created in the paintings look real and comprehendible. Ray's works have been appreciated by the Indian Press and Art media very extensively and has been described variously as the most promising among the new generation of artists in India. The central feature of Ray's art is their apparent simlicity and easy comprehendibility. A travelling artist, Ray has learnt his craft from various associations, craftsmen, fine artists and practitioners. His style, a modernised version of these myriad Indian art forms thus emphasise the philosophy that art has to be comprehendible and close to the life of a common man. Yet one can also identify subtle commentary, satire and humor in his otherwise simplistic renditionsRay's subjects are all taken from the lives of regular men and women in India. Ray is widely popular among the art community and has himself written on Indian art, and other artists. The Pseudorealist Art form of Devajyoti Ray as been described in popular media as "Everything that is India, Everything that is 21st Century and Everything that is Art"
