Jaydeep Mehrotra

Jaideep Mehrotra was born in Mumbai, India and held his first solo exhibition in 1967 at the age of 12.

A self-taught artist, he has a unique style, developed as a concatenation from introspection and mystical exploration. A style that could be described as surreal, iconic or hyper-realism. The creative quest of not confining to parameters, has driven him to experiment with different mediums & subjects, both within and without the two dimensional.  This foray has led him to sculpture, using fabric and resin and the digital domain of installations, web based art, giclee’, audio-visual depiction and short films.

In content, the work embraces both, a social commentary and the arcane phenomenon.
