With a vast array of traditional mediums like oil and watercolour to contemporary ones like acrylic, you can find the work of some expressive contemporary painters like Amit Bhar, Anuradha Thakur, Basuki Dasgupta, Sachin Sagare, Suruchi Jamkar, Sukanta Das and Varsha Kharatmal among others who have focused on capturing tribal portraits, rustic scenes, nude forms and sari-clad quintessential Indian women.
