CURRENT EXHIBITION

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK: INDIAN ART TODAY

The Saatchi Gallery is currently showing The Empire Strikes Back: Indian Art Today, an exhibition of 26 artists from the world's largest democracy. The rapid flourishing of this art scene on one hand and the recent economic downturn on the other have prompted critical questions about Indian culture and globalization in a country torn between a proudly independent mindset and a dependence on global consumption. Against this backdrop, contemporary Indian artists are making a diverse range of work, which responds to the complexities of 21st century India. The Raj and its legacy, the failure of Gandhi's and Nehru's hopes for a harmonious secular India, remain rich subjects for many of the artists, whilst others are engaging with the country's incredible urban expansion, its slums - some of the biggest in Asia - and issues around migration.

The Empire Strikes Back brings together works by established and emerging artists, most of whom have never been shown in the UK before. These include Jaishri Abichandani, Mansoor Ali, Kriti Arora, Huma Bhabha, Ajit Chauhan, Shezad Dawood, Atul Dodiya, Chitra Ganesh, Probir Gupta, Sakshi Gupta, Subodh Gupta, Tushar Joag, Jitish Kallat, Reena Saini Kallat, Bharti Kher, Rajan Krishnan, Huma Mulji, Pushpamala N., Yamini Nayar, Justin Ponmany, Rashid Rana, T.V. Santhosh, Schandra Singh, Tallur L.N, Hema Upadhyay, T Venkanna.
