Modern and Contemporary Art: The Rise of Indian Modern Art on the Global Stage

Modern and Contemporary art are both can be considered innovative. But contemporary art is more about experimenting with freedom. Modern art is an expression of distinctiveness, while contemporary art focuses on social impact, with society as the primary focus. Modern Indian art typically shows the influence of global styles but is often inspired by Indian themes and images. Prominent Indian artists are beginning to gain international recognition. Initially, modern art was popular among the Indian diaspora but is now gaining non-Indian audiences too. Many Indian artists have invented traditions by juxtaposing contemporary art with popular culture and folk art with urban trends. In recent times creating spectacular sculptures and artworks with amalgamation elements of ancient, medieval and modern eras has raised the platform for the Indian art passage.
