Vivan Sundaram (born 1943) is an Indian contemporary artist. His parents were Kalyan Sundaram, Chairman of Law Commission of India from 1968 to 1971, and Indira Sher-Gil, sister of noted Indian modern artist Amrita Sher-Gil. He is married to eminent art historian and critic Geeta Kapur. TrainingSundaram was educated at The Doon School, the Faculty of Fine Arts, Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, and at Slade School of London.[1][2][3] In London he met the British-American painter R. B. Kitaj,[4] under whom he trained for some time. WorkSundaram works in many different media, including painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, installation and video art, and his work is politically conscious and highly intertextual in nature.{{citation needed|date=December 2011}} His works in the 1980s showed a tendency towards figurative representations, and dealt with problems of identity. His works constantly refer to social problems, popular culture, problems of perception, memory and history. He was among the first Indian artists to work with installation.[5] His latest installations and videos often refer to his artistic influences, among them are Dadaism, Surrealism, as well as more recent Fluxus[4] and the works of Joseph Beuys. Re-take of ‘Amrita’ is a series of black and white digital photomontages based on archival photographs from the Sher-Gil family. The original photographer was Sundaram's grandfather Umrao Singh. Sundaram reconfigured the photographs and recast the family in new roles, retelling family history.[6] [7]References1. ^The Skoda Prize 2012 2. ^{{cite news| url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1100221/jsp/7days/story_12131346.jsp | location=Calcutta, India | work=The Telegraph | title='Amrita comes across as an opinionated, precocious, driven young woman; a talented artist clearly in a hurry' | date=2010-02-21}} 3. ^Vivan Sundaram 4. ^1 Vivan Sundaram 5. ^ Amrita Jhaveri: A Guide to 101 Modern & Contemporary Indian Artists.
