Anju Dodiya

    Dodiya is a contemporary Indian artist who works primarily in drawing media and with themes around social justice, psychology, and spirituality. His aesthetic seems childlike at first, but after viewing for a bit, sophisticated detailing that references deep tradition in this style appears.  Dodiya's use of patterns as textures in unexpected areas is a nice surprise.
