Niroj Satpathy (b. 1984, Odisha, India) received a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Painting) from B. K. College of Arts and Crafts, Bhubaneswar, Orissa in 2006, and a Master of Visual Arts (Painting) from the Utkal University of Culture, Bhubaneswar, Orissa in 2015. Inspired by his experience as a night supervisor in the Waste Management Department, his practice reflects on issues and dialogues around land, community, politics, ecology, and relationships of a materialistic society, and constitutes a primarily process-based artistic approach. In his work, he incorporates various mediums - collecting materials and objects from garbage dumps, landfills, second-hand markets, nature, and other spaces encountered in the mundane. These materials are then re-shaped or modified, influenced by the artist’s own perception towards material use and sourcing. Working primarily with installations, he also incorporates other mediums such as drawing, painting, sculpture, and photographic, digital, and video documentation etc. Niroj received a Junior Fellowship Award from the Ministry of Culture, Government of India (2018). His notable group exhibitions include Is the image even human?, Instituto Cervantes (New Delhi, 2023), 8 x 4 OED, Sala Rekalde (Spain, 2019), Could be Urbanism - a collaborative project with Nabeen Mahantesh & WALA Group, Khoj Studios (New Delhi, 2018), Hangar for the Passerby, Kiran Nadar Museum of Art (New Delhi, 2017) etc. His solo exhibition with Anant Art Gallery, Dhalav, was held in New Delhi, 2023.
