Nupur Kundu
The artistic aspect of life struck her natural instinct by way of her obsession with
painting and dancing in the formative years of her childhood. The cultural environment of Springdale’s
School in Delhi nurtured her talent further.
She joined the College of Art, New Delhi in 1993 for her BFA degree in painting. The aesthetic environment
of the college helped her realize her dream on a professional level. She also kept her dancing instinct alive
by completing her Sangeet Bhaskar in Indian classical dance (Kathak), and has several dance performances
to her credit.
Nupur has participated in several exhibitions both in India and abroad. Apart from exhibiting in India, her
works have travelled to Dubai, Singapore, USA and Mauritius. She also held a solo art exhibition at the Art
Indus, Santushti Complex, New Delhi in April 1999.
She has held two-man shows at the Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai in 2001 and at Surya Gallery, Hyderabad
in 2000. She has conducted several workshops in painting for the British Council, New Delhi.
Did three commission works for TAJ GVK Hotel (Chandigarh) in 2005, one of which is a single piece oil on canvas of dimensions 7ft *22ft.
