Experiments with truth: Atul Dodiya

A solo show titled ‘Experiments With Truth: Atul Dodiya’ displays 130 works of the Mumbai based artist, reflecting his concerns with the times we live in and the firm belief that despite experiments with different material and mediums, painting will always remain the most challenging art form. Atul, a Saurashtrian living in Mumbai, was extremely hurt and upset by what happened to Gandhi’s Gujarat during the riots of 2002. He says he could not talk about what happened, but the paintings were an attempt to reclaim Gujarati as a language of love and hope, not hatred and violence or a reaction to aggressive religiosity.
