Artist Corner | Bhupen Khakhar

From an accountant to an acclaimed artist, Bhupen Khakhar's remarkable journey led him to become one of India's most-lauded artists. Influenced by folk art, Kalighat paintings and the Company style, he depicted ordinary people and used irony to comment on the middle class. His work Yagnya/Marriage (2000) delves into the finer details and offers a heteronormative representation of the ceremony by depicting the sacred, fire-bound ritual being performed for two men. Explore the artistic legacy of the renowned artist at 'Sangam/Confluence'.
