Consumerism consumes people’s individuality and turns them into larger-than-life entities.
Satadru Sovan Banduri is a multi-disciplinary Indian artist, specialising in canvas art as well as digital art and installations. He is a recipient of the prestigious Fulbright Scholarship. Satadru's art often features commentaries on cyberspace and consumerism: he describes his subjects as men and women immaculately attired in designer labels juggling professional and personal lives. Within his art practice, he explores socio-cultural hybridity. He is interested in how distinct cultural experiences have shaped us all, and the points where these distinctions overlap, and where unique, hybrid and odd cultural forms emerge with gender vocabulary.
His multi-disciplinary work serves as research on the drift in the socio-cultural arena. Social activism and participatory culture are the core elements in his work.
