Atul Dodiya (b. 1959)

Atul began exhibiting and selling his work in the early 1980s following his graduation from Sir J. J. School of Art in Mumbai where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. He furthered his academic training at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris from 1991 to 1992 subsequent to a scholarship awarded by the French Government.

Atul is married to fellow painter Anju dodiya and lives and works in Mumbai.

Atul's recent painting an oil and acrylic work on canvas dedicated to former Team India captain Rahul Dravid named "The Wall" fetched Rs 57.6 lakh .

Dodiya's strongly realistic works are subtly nuanced to provide a reflective medium to middle class homes, family life and his own biography. Thin layers of painting deftly painted strokes, mirror suggestive situations. In his latest works he freely quotes his artistic peers like Hockney and Bhupen Khakhar to reflect on the act of painting itself.

In 1991-92, he received the French Government Scholarship and in 1999, Italy's Civitella Ranieri Foundation Fellowship. Some of his prominent exhibitions have been India Contemporary Art', at the World Trade Center, in Amsterdam, in 1989, at the Gallery Apunto, Amsterdam, in 1993. 'Indian Contemporary Paintings' in London, 1995 and 'Bombay: Labyrinth/Laboratory', at the Japan Foundation Asia Center in Akasaka, 2001.

Dodiya lives and works in Mumbai.
