Executed in 1975
Born in 1938 in Sialkot, Inderjeet Sahdev studied painting and sculpture at the College of Arts and Crafts in New Delhi. He was a founding member of the 'The Unknown' group, along with Rajendra Dhawan (lots 40-41), and they held a number of exhibitions between 1960-64. During this time, Sahdev was awarded a French government grant and studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He later settled in Canada. The present works, with bold colours and graphic lines, reveal Sahdev's accomplished mastery of screenprinting.
