Devajyoti Ray (1974) is an Indian painter and installation artist whose works attained significance in the post-liberalization phase of the Indian economy. His works have been exhibited internationally and have been acquired by many art academies. He is primarily known for his particular genre of work called Pseudorealism, which involves the use of offbeat colours and abstract shapes to arrive at an imagery which looks as comprehensible as real. Devajyoti Ray lives and works in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Kolkata.
Ray's works have been appreciated by the Indian Press and Art media very extensively and has been described variously as the most promising among the new generation of artists in India. The central feature of Ray's art is their apparent simlicity and easy comprehendibility. A travelling artist, Ray has learnt his craft from various associations, craftsmen, fine artists and practitioners. His style, a modernised version of these myriad Indian art forms thus emphasise the philosophy that art has to be comprehendible and close to the life of a common man. Yet one can also identify subtle commentary, satire and humor in his otherwise simplistic renditionsRay's subjects are all taken from the lives of regular men and women in India. Ray is widely popular among the art community and has himself written on Indian art, and other artists. The Pseudorealist Art form of Devajyoti Ray as been described in popular media as "Everything that is India, Everything that is 21st Century and Everything that is Art"
