The Fragmented Realities of Mumbai in ‘Cities: Built, Broken
Veteran artist Sudhir Patwardhan, widely regarded as a visual chronicler of urban India, continues to dissect the complexities of city life in his latest body of work titled Cities: Built, Broken. Now 76, Patwardhan has spent decades observing and portraying the human experience within the rapidly transforming urban scape, particularly the city of Mumbai. His art serves as both critique and documentation, drawing attention to the lived realities of the working class, whose daily struggle shapes the soul of the metropolis.
