Kausik Mukhopadhyay

Kausik Mukhopadhyay’s kinetic and static installations are made by repurposing old electronic items. The artworks are at once whimsical and disturbing. With the artist having devoted much of the last twenty years to teaching, his work has rarely been seen publicly.  Kausik Mukhopadhyay has been shown at The Tate Modern, London.
