Today’s art appears to be an inclusion of various art forms. Indian contemporary art, similar to the art of the world, reflects the inclusion of diverse art forms. Nowadays, contemporary Indian art presents a hybrid picture because of its mediatic multitude of differences between various artists across the country. At the same time, we are witnessing the creation of new genres and the development of a pluralistic mediatic scenario that draws on diverse traditions and scientific developments. Art has always been affected by the patronage, contemporary events, and inventions of a particular time; likewise, constant changes in the world are impacting the nation’s ongoing art. Contemporary Indian art is a perfect blend of sensibilities from Asia and the West. For almost the last three decades, Indian artists have inspired and explored the technological developments and innovation in their art practices. These artists have continuously expanded the peripheries of existing art practices, predefined paradigms, given birth to new attitudes and genres in the art which were not experienced before and contrary to popular belief contributing significantly to the value of ‘wonder’ and the unconventional. Concerning the changing nature of contemporary Indian art and artists, famous critic Keshav Malik writes in a rubric in the editorial of Art&Deal magazine: “At the current moment of time, artists would seem to leave no stone unturned in search of the golden fleece of novelty, that is never seen before or ever felt. They would want to give a jolt to a too-often sleepy public. No doubt, doing this some toes are bound to be trodden upon.”
