Vibha Galhotra(born 1978) is an Indian conceptual artist based in New Delhi. Her work includes large-scale installations, sculptures, drawings, and films that explore themes of ecological and environmental concerns. Her works address the shifting topography of the world under the impact of globalisation and growth. She sees herself as being part of the restructuring of culture, society and geography of New Delhi, and the world.
Galhotra is a conceptual artist.[3] According to Art in America, Galhotra's work is concerned with urban development, global concerns and ecological issues.[1]The Hindu has called her work about environmental issues "sharp and cutting."[4] One of her "trademark" artistic conventions is the use of ghungroos.[5]
