Anupam Sud (b. 1944)

Anupam Sud is one of the most eminent printmakers of contemporary India and is also celebrated for her fine drawings and paintings. Sud was the youngest member of ‘Group 8’, an association of artists at the college that was founded by Anupam’s teacher Jagmohan Chopra in 1967 and was dedicated to furthering awareness of printmaking in India. She acknowledges many influences in her life: her father who had a love for bodybuilding, detective stories, and Punjabi theatre, and her mother who appreciated classical music and read the Upanishads. It was after her return from Slade that she developed an intense interest in exploring human figures through the medium of etching. Often she weaves her personal experiences into the narratives as a way of fixing memory and feelings.
