Jyoti Bhatt
“A painter-printmaker, photographer and committed pedagogue, Jyoti Bhatt’s interest in the folk arts and popular culture has had both anthropological and aesthetic values. His perception of tradition involves a comprehension of it in its historical sense in a contextual relationship with the past as well as the present. His compelling artistic oeuvre is one of ‘re-visioning’, the act of looking back, of seeing with fresh eyes, of entering an old text/image from a new critical direction." (extracted from Amrita Gupta Singh, full citation in Artist Profile).
