Catalogue of joint exhibition held at Palette Art Gallery, New Delhi in 2005. 'The ten artists that are represented in this exhibition inscribed in their work particular aggregates of the modern. Now with the benefit of hindsight, the artists of those critical decades have worked with an extraordinary persistence of vision. Since the dizzying period of independence, India's conflicted and troubled social polity continually challenges the concept of a sustained heroism. In a climate of intellectual uncertainty it is the artist who represents the hero, one who continues to paint even as India violently shifts registers in the vortex of change, where the received image oscillates every nanosecond.' - extracted from essay by Gayatri Sinha.
