Anupam Roy (b. 1985) is a multidisciplinary artist based in India. His practice spans drawing, painting, journalistic photography, posters, zines, graffiti, video, and collaborative and collective art practices. Through this diverse range of media and modes, he reflects on his experiences and observations in the hinterlands of North 24 Parganas, West Bengal, where he was born; the urban landscapes of Delhi, where he currently lives and works; and Central and Northeast India, where he has engaged in regional political inquiry and propaganda praxis. His artistic investigations critically examine the limitations of contemporary representational politics in visual culture, as well as the intersections of land and labor movements, with a focus on surplus populations and their precarious conditions within the contemporary capitalist system. Anupam is an active member of several collectives, including Panjeri Artists' Union, Jinn (an independent publication), Khandera Art Space in Dadri, and Locust Review, an international collective based in the U.S. He currently teaches in the Department of Art, Media, and Performance at Shiv Nadar University, Delhi.

He studied contemporary visual art at Ambedkar University, Delhi, and pursued an MA in Fine Art at De Montfort University, Leicester, UK, supported by the Charles Wallace India Trust Long-Term Scholarship (2019-2020). His works have been featured in major exhibitions and festivals, including the Colomboscope Festival (Sri Lanka, 2024), Frieze Fair (London), India Art Fair, and the 2018 New Museum Triennial (New York). He has also exhibited at institutions such as Asia Now (Paris, 2024), curated by Anushka Rajendran; Project 88 (Mumbai); and Vadehra Art Gallery (Delhi), where he has held institutional solo exhibitions. Anupam is the recipient of the Cultural & Artistic Responses to the Environmental Crisis (CAREC) Award (2025) from the Prince Claus Fund, Critical Voice of the Year (HELLO! India Art Award, 2023), and The Foundation for Indian Contemporary Art (FICA) Emerging Artist Award (2018). He has actively participated in international forums, including seminars and workshops at SOAS (London), Bordeaux Montaigne University, and IIT Gandhinagar. His research explores political questions of land, ecology, and labor, alongside the aesthetic challenges of representing violence, trauma, and subaltern communities. Central to his work are two concepts he developed: "land guards," referencing grassroots efforts to protect land and resources, and "representational impossibilities," which address the limitations of language in capturing the extremities of pain and exclusion. His ongoing engagement includes movements against the Deucha Pachami Coal Project in Birbhum and the anti-caste movement in West Bengal.
