Artist Profile: Uday Dhar
Overview
Uday Dhar is a New York-based artist whose work explores the fragmented and multifaceted nature of selfhood through vivid abstraction and collage. Blending cultural symbolism with gestural mark-making, Dhar’s practice mines the complexities of identity, memory, and perception. His layered canvases serve as visual narratives—part personal diary, part sociopolitical mirror.
Born into a diasporic lineage and steeped in both Eastern and Western influences, Dhar approaches painting as a site for reconciliation and provocation. He draws inspiration from street art, pop culture, and sacred geometries—filtering these visual languages through a deeply introspective lens. Each piece is an evolving dialogue between past and present, chaos and clarity.
