Beginning in 1967 with his first solo exhibition of paintings, Jaideep sustained a parallel career of corporate business and painting up to 1983, when he embraced painting as a sole profession. Having had no formal education in Art, he evolved a unique style, starting out as a surrealist, working in Oils, Acrylics and fabric sculptures.
His latest exhibit, Metonymical Subtext at Tao Art is a culmination of over three years of investigating perception, meaning and their alterations with the shifting of traditional parameters. Jaideep tells us, “The current body of work seeks to combine the past with the future. Fusing the painted with the printed or interactivity of the computer with the physical act of painting. I am attempting to bridge the expression, while stating that one can’t survive without the other, asserting that, mediums may change but the message always conveys.” His work echoes his thoughts and conveys his message with some fine brush strokes and a lot of beautiful imagery.
Having already had 22 successful solo exhibitions in India as well as abroad, he is rated as one of the country’s finest inventive contemporary artists. His paintings and sculptures form part of the collections of prestigious individuals as well as high profile companies from around the world.
A pioneer of the digital medium in India as an art form, Jaideep has continually pushed the conceptual thresholds of his visual language in order to integrate different elements in his works- the historical with the contemporary, the traditional with the modern.
