“Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it” – Michelangelo
Sculptures these days are being created to cater the demands of the emerging upper and middle social classes.
During the year 1940’s and 1950’s, Indian modern sculpture developed a unique autochthonous language; which was first seen in the works of Ram Kinker Baij who is among the best sculpture artist in India. His art gave a fresh outlook to both western and traditional Indian norms by combining them in a modern charter. He is also known for experimenting with unconventional materials such as concrete, gravel and cement, which gave his art an outlook of the rural landscape and tribal communities of India.
The year 1950 saw the experimentations with wood and stone, by retaining the essential character of the solid block. Whereas, the next two decades saw sculptors use different kinds of techniques to create a reformed relationship between material, form and theme.
When we talk about Contemporary sculpture artists these days the 1st name that comes to our mind is Mr. Neeraj Gupta of Delhi who gained his spot among the Top ten artists of India with his sheer hard work and perseverance.

He believes that sculpting in India is as fecund and spectacular as that of the former period and even in this modern time sculpturing is prominent because it displays an overturned tradition of the cultural, regional as well as religious brilliance of India. Contemporary sculpture is gaining popularity worldwide because of its artistic adeptness. It has attained such heights in India that we can boast not only about our sculptors and the craft but have leveled up to make it as India’s professional achievement.

He has already hosted more than 15 solo exhibitions of his inventive works in India as well as abroad. His works have been highly acclaimed by the critics of the field as wll as the common people.
