About the Art

This paintings examines the visual dynamics of the roadside bazaar - vendors, hawkers and auto rickshaws which dominate busiest urban landscapes of India. Here, a whole new world of images, sounds and gestures are evolving and gaining ground. Photographs are digitally modified and painted on the canvas. The treatment of pictures has a simplistic approach with layers of vibrant colors expressing a subtle theatre of visual form. The decorative motifs floating in the background come from the painted fresco on the Havelis (Mansions ) of Shekhavati, from the native town of the artist.
