Anju Dodiya

L’artiste

Anju Dodiya est née en 1964 à Bombay en Inde, où elle vit et travaille. Ses peintures, actes de rébellion et d’exorcisme, explorent sous la forme de l’autoportrait les conflits entre intériorité et réalité extérieure. L’artiste réactualise des sources historiques aussi variées que les miniatures indiennes, les tapisseries médiévales françaises ou les photos de journaux. Sa peinture frappe par le contraste entre l’intensité dramatique des sujets et les subtilités de la réalisation.
