In the past, I had many years of works listed on this webpage that I have been very proud of.
But over the past 4 years, the discourse about immigrants and who gets to call themselves American has preoccupied me, and it has manifested itself in my works. This focus was long present in my works, as I produced different series that explored this theme through various angles and perspectives. It resulted in a diverse set of works that, at its core, had a theme that connected them. It was about finding a visual expression about the experience of immigration – how and what one absorbs from the new circumstances, and what is held onto as a recognition of heritage and pride.
I am a deeply proud "American artist of South Asian origin".
Now, with the impact of Covid-19 over these past two years, my works have taken on another aspect and development. My attention has grown more inward, but all the while I seek to explore my primary focus about the experience of immigration.
I have been mainly producing small works on paper or board. They stand on their own merits. But they also provide a framework of works that I intend to produce, once I am able to return to the studio under changed circumstances.
With this revamped website, I present at the moment only three series of works on paper, produced over the last months.
You can also visit my Instagram page, where I post new works more regularly.

Uday Dhar
