Neville Tuli

Neville Tuli (born 24 April 1964, England UK) is a pioneering author, curator and archivist, active in the field of Arts and Cultural Heritage in India. He studied at the London School of Economics and St. Catherine's College University of Oxford. He lived in England until he returned to India in 1993.

In 1997 he wrote a book The Flamed Mosaic: Indian Contemporary Painting, on the aesthetics and history of Indian Modern & Contemporary Painting in April 1997.

Shivaji Pannikar in his book 'Towards a New Art History: studies in Indian art' referred to The Flamed Mosaic as the first comprehensive book written on Indian painting.

Ratan Parimoo's review of the book in Asia Art Archive referred to the book as 'substantial' and 'topical'. Parimoo wrote, "This book therefore is part of the international recognition and significance of contemporary Indian Art, in the lavish format in which it has been produced."

Martin Kämpchen in his review published in Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung said "One must be grateful for the compilation of the historical factual material, especially for the biographical outlines and the extensive bibliography on Indian painting. Tuli also introduces the majority of the painters through interviews; their works are illuminated by excerpts from essays and monographs."

Chitra Sardesai at Mid Day commented in relation to The Flamed Mosaic and The Intuitive-Logic exhibition,"The panorama of contemporary Indian art as seen through these shows is the first of its kind and does much credit to the curator, Neville Tuli. It will be permanently remembered through the definitive book he has authored".

Neville on the purpose of the book remarked, "It (a book) ought to have an energy all of its own. That energy has not been channelised in great depth in our country...in taking forward the new mind especially in the arts."

In the Hindu dated 1999, Neville Tuli was interviewed by contemporary Indian artist Dr Gieve Patel and historian, Professor Shadakshari Settar. The interviews were published as a series of 4 articles and laid out the need for creating infrastructure for art in India.
