Art Director
Amritraj Gupta, Contemporary Artist, Painter of mythological compositions, taboo subjects, nudes, robots, vintage automobiles, nudes, stick figures, fat figures, urban landscapes, nudes in urban landscapes and writer of fluff. His passion for art began with the obsession to amass crayons of every color at playschool. Soon he discovered the joy of drawing elaborate moustaches on world leaders in his history textbook. One thing led to another and Amritraj found himself in design school, where he harnessed the skill of making art and instant noodles in 2.53 minutes. In the years that followed, he developed his skill as a commercial artist and animator of short films. He also gained extensive knowledge of writing about himself in the third person. He became quite good at it and indulges regularly to inflate his medium-sized ego. Currently, he works for an advertising agency/circus and spends most of his day trying to buy back his soul, which the Devil purchased at a bargain price of a convertible. He dreams of a day when all his problems will become yours and all your money, his. Until that day, his advice is ‘remember to moisturize’ and don’t let your Mom know that you paint nudes.
