Jaideep Mehrotra (born 1954) is an Indian contemporary artist based in Mumbai, India. He started his artistic career with a solo exhibition at the young age of 13 in 1967.[1] Despite having no formal training in art, Mehrotra managed a parallel career of business and painting up until 1983,[2] when he embraced painting as his solitary profession.
Having been a part of the art world for over four decades, Mehrotra has worked with a profusion of mediums. His works steer away from conforming to the orthodox approaches. His inventive works are both rich in visual portrayal and intense in intellectual ideology, sometimes including socio-political commentary.
He has served as a judge, panelist, jury member on various awards,[3] competitions and various art events. He has also had work sold at various auctions over the years, including Bonhams, Osian's[4][5] and Saffronart.[6]
