Amit Dutt works in the field of painting, which is one of the most established disciplines within Indian visual art. Indian painting traditions span classical, folk, modern and contemporary practices, and individual artists working today often draw on a combination of these influences alongside global contemporary movements.
Painting in India has a long lineage, ranging from the murals of Ajanta and miniature traditions of the Mughal and Rajput courts to the modernist movements of the twentieth century associated with groups such as the Bengal School and the Progressive Artists' Group. Contemporary Indian painters, such as Dutt, contribute to the ongoing evolution of this tradition.
As a contemporary Indian painter, Dutt forms part of a wider community of artists active in galleries, exhibitions and art collectives across India.
