Jaideep Mehrotra (born 1954 in Mumbai, India) is an Indian artist. He did his schooling from Mayo College, Ajmer Starting his artistic career at a young age of 13,[1] Mehrotra works across mediums like Oils, acrylics, cast resin sculptures, giclee prints, site specific installations and video art. Having had no formal training in art, Jaideep's style has been developed as a concatenation from introspection and exploration.

Mehrotra's works manoeuvre away from conforming to the orthodox approaches. His paintings combine an aesthetic relation between various layers from which emerges a culmination which is rich in visual portrayal and intense in intellectual ideology.

Works

Pioneer of the digital medium in India as an art form,[2] Mehrotra has continually pushed the conceptual thresholds of his visual language to integrate different elements in his works – the historical with the contemporary, the traditional with the modern.

Jaideep held his first solo exhibition in 1967 at the age of 13.[1] The creative quest of not confining to parameters, has driven him to experiment with different mediums & subjects, both within and without the two dimensional. This foray has led him to sculpture, using fabric and resin and the digital domain of installations, web based art, Giclée, audio-visual depiction and short films.[3]

Influences

In his youth, Jaideep was influenced by surrealist artists such as Salvador Dalí & Bikash Bhattacharjee. As an adult, the content of his work embraces both social commentary and arcane phenomenon. Paintings about life as perceived by society, or an enigma of sorts. People's relationship with their emotions and the interactivity with what surrounds them.
