Printmaking has established itself as a powerful medium within the Indian modern art world. Once considered merely a means of reproduction, it has now established itself as an independent and creative genre. Many Indian artists have made significant contributions to the development of this art form—one of them is Sushant Guha, who, in the form of "New Printmaking," presented a beautiful synthesis of innovation, sensitivity, and Indianness within this medium.

The present research paper examines the lithographic printmaking practice, life, work, and contributions of Sushant Guha, one of contemporary India's most versatile printmakers, to the field of printmaking. Sushant Guha is a leading name among contemporary Indian printmakers. He has given a new direction to lithographic printmaking by combining traditional techniques with a modern approach. His work is not only technically excellent but also possesses deep conceptual resonance. He frequently employs techniques such as linocut, etching, lithography, and woodcut. But the greatest attraction of his work is the novelty of ideas and the simple, yet powerful expression of form and color. After studying all aspects of his life, this paper demonstrates how he depicted various themes of life and society through lithographic printmaking technique and used them as a medium of social commentary. It also demonstrates how Sushant Guha has emerged as an important voice in modern printmaking, combining traditional techniques with social commentary. This paper explores Guha's formal training in traditional and photolithographic techniques and his role in developing lithography as a serious artistic medium in India.
