Among the younger generation, we work closely with Mumbai-based Anju Dodiya and have organized two exhibitions of hers so far. Predominantly a watercolourist, Anju Dodiya was born in Mumbai and received her diploma from the Sir J.J. School of Art in 1986. She has held two solo shows at Gallery Chemould, Mumbai in 1991 and 1996. She has also participated in 'In Small Format' Sakshi Gallery, Mumbai, 1993, 'Women Artists' Hyderabad 1994, 'Recent Trends in Contemporary Indian Art' Vadehra Art Gallery, New Delhi, 1995 and 'Cinemascape An Artists' Tribute to 100 years of Cinema' Lakhereen Gallery, Mumbai, 1996.

Dodiya’s self-images are placed in theatrical situations in an attempt to explore internal and external reality. The technical competence of her paintings is matched by the calm almost detached observations.

Anju lives and works in Mumbai.
