In this opening post, we bring some glimpses of the new emerging genre of Art in India : Pseudo-realism.

Variously spelt as Pseudo-realism, Pseudorealism or Pseudo Realism it is making waves in the Indian Art circle these days and is being thought of as the most prominent new genre of the 21st century, which is likely to stay in this ever changing Art World.

Its adherents, mostly young students from Art colleges and the new generation of Art enthusiasts find this new style quite mind boggling but very refreshing and original.

In the coming days, we would try to bring in more on this emerging new style of Art. We would bring interviews with painters of this genre, newspaper articles, and related write-ups.

In this opening post, we bring a picture of the painting titled 'The Cobbler' by artist Devajyoti Ray, who is being hailed at the best artist among the new generation of Artists in India. in forthcoming post we would bring more on him and the likes of him.

Nice new begining. But the write-ups seem incomplete. neither do they tell much in detail about Pseudorealism nor much on the aritists.
Devajoti Ray is a comparitively new artist and very little is known about him to most Indian buyers. Can you write some more on him?

Pseudorealism! Good. but what the hell is this? is it the latest fad in Art world. Besides apart from Ray i have not come accross any other major artist doing all this stuff. Rya as i know was into ceramics. what has made him suddenly switch to this new thing?

Can you put some article on Ray, it does not matter if it is not on pseudorealism.

Pseudorealism Huh! Allright, but what is it? is it the latest fad in the Art world? And apart from Ray i dont see any other artist of much repute doing all this stuff.

In Chennai we saw recently a bunch of tyros trying their hand at this new style.

But apart from style, what else is there in this so called new (!)genre?

Hope to hear more from Newart soon.
