Joydip Acharjee

"My art practice revolves around the changing nature of cities and its architecture.Through my practice, I examine the processes of gentrification and the impact of human activities on earth's landscape."

"I create geometric patterns in my drawings and paintings using materials like charcoal, acrylic colors and residues collected from various endangered landscapes and construction sites. I then juxtapose them with the organic forms like corals, fungi, roots and stones. In other words, I observe my local surroundings and city as an ever growing construction organism. Thereby my efforts can be seen as an act of replication to highlight the same phenomenon in my drawings. My practice sprouts from the mere witness to these changes in landscapes on catastrophic levels and the conflict between massive human constructions meeting their demise."
