Chintan Upadhyay (born 1972) is an
Indian artist. He was awarded the Charles Wallace Foundation Award for Residency in
Bristol,
UK in 2012.[1][2][3] He began as a painter, but now creates sculptures and installations, the surfaces of which he paints.[citation needed]
His best known sculpture project is perhaps the Pet Shop project, which is an ongoing production of a "model baby" for every season, Baby fetish.[4]
In December 2015, Upadhyay was accused and arrested in connection with the double murder of his estranged wife Hema Upadhyay and her lawyer Haresh Bhambhani.[6] Their bodies were found in khakhi-coloured cardboard boxes floating in a nullah. He has twice been denied bail and the case is ongoing.[7]
