The Sewer Man, Untold Dalit
Confronting histories of caste-based labour and marginalisation, this work reflects the tension between dignity and imposed degradation. Muted tones and layered textures evoke the weight of lived experience and inherited burden. The composition invites viewers to reckon with resilience, visibility, and the deeper human truths within systemic neglect.

Rupesh Sudanshu
Layered human and animal forms define Rupesh Sudanshu’s paintings. Drawing from personal memory, philosophy, and tribal visual traditions, he uses expressive mark-making and symbolic imagery to explore identity, interconnectedness, and the relationship between human and non-human worlds.
Why 50?
50 was born from a simple gap we kept noticing: extraordinary Indian artists exist everywhere, yet much of their work never reaches the audiences who would truly value it.
Traditional galleries can often feel exclusive, while online marketplaces tend to reduce art to décor. We wanted to create something more thoughtful—a curated and welcoming space where discovering and collecting original art feels natural, personal, and transparent.
At the heart of 50 is a belief that thoughtful curation and a considered approach to pricing can exist alongside one another—creating a more open and connected way to experience contemporary art.
