Born in 1998 in Indore, India, Aditya Chadar is a contemporary artist whose work explores the emotional and social dynamics of human interaction within shared spaces. A graduate of the Government Institute of Fine Arts, Indore, he earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2020 and Master of Fine Arts in 2022. Chadar has participated in prestigious residencies, including the Space Studio Winter Residency (2022–2023) in Vadodara and the MAIR Residency in Bombay (2023–2024). 

His work has been featured in numerous exhibitions across India, including the Dhoomimal Gallery (2021), the Kochi Muziris Student Biennale (2016 and 2018), and the annual showcase at Devalalikar Kala Vithika (2016–2022).

Aditya’s practice is rooted in figurative expressionism, often portraying crowds and urban spaces with a balance of chaos and calm. Influenced by his upbringing in Indore, where nature and urban life intersect, his compositions resonate with themes of individuality, memory, and collective experience. For over six years, his daily practice of sketching in public spaces has informed his ability to capture the emotional currents of human interactions. 

Through his art, Chadar connects past and present, creating works that are both personal and universally evocative. His pieces invite contemplation on the roles we play within society, offering a poignant reflection of shared human experiences.
