DESCRIPTION
Chintan Upadhyay is renowned for his thought-provoking artworks that critique society with wit. His signature motif of babies as depicted in this lot known as Chintus/ Smart Alecs/Designer Babies functions as symbols that shed light on pervasive commercialism. Playful and irreverent poses challenge manipulated realities, and the politics of identity is veiled behind a charming facade. Exploring themes of genetic manipulation and mutation; the artist delves into profound aspects of life and death including consumerism and cultural dynamics in a technologically driven world.
