belong to any particular method. It uses different modes of ex-pression

view of emotions portrayed in contemporary art. It is often inspired by
real life scenarios which are nothing but reflection of changing social,
political and cultural scenario.
The variety becomes of paramount importance. Indian contemporary art is
a wonderful mix up of our traditional values and modern day beliefs.
Experimentation lies at the centre of Indian contemporary art. Indian
contemporary art has seen lot of movements since the time of
independence. Right from leftist leanings to progressive movement, it

of modern technologies. Artists were free to use their own comfortable
mode of ex-pression. It is much more flexible.
