PRITPAL SINGH LADI

Born in Shillong in 1955

Ladi studied sculpture at the M.S. University in

Baroda. He was conferred the National Lalit Kala

Akademi (LKA) Award and the Gujarat LKAawards. He later taught at the School for

Architecture, Ahmedabad, and the National

Institute of Fashion Technology, New Delhi.

The works of 53-year-old Ladi exhibit his penchant

for the eccentric and the bizarre. They reflect his

constant struggle to reflect his personal life - his

lone sibling suffers from Alzeihmers disease and

his family shuttles between Munich and Shillong.

RAM KINKER BAIJ

Ramkinkar Baij was a Indian Santhal sculptor,

known as the Pioneer of Modern Indian Sculpture.

He was one of the first Indian Adivasi artists to

understand the language of modern Westernart and use it in his sculptures. He is regarded as

the father of modernism in art in India and one of

the greatest Adivasi artists.

Modern Western art and pre and post-classical

Indian art were his main point of reference. Heused local material advantageously, and worked

combining the skills of a modeler and a carver. His

paintings too take on expressionist dimensions like

his sculptures, which are filled with force andvitality.
