An example of his work that stands out the most to me is "Mahalaxmi" (below) displaying a beautiful woman, possibly a film star, in a traditional Hindi style film poster when the collapsible shutters are closed. When the shutters are opened, the audience will see a darker, honest and serious painting of citizens being hung from a ceiling fan. I chose this piece in particular as it is a form of activism that raises awareness of what people do not see in contrast to what the public usually see in the media. This painting is a bold message to everyone that addresses the unknown scary truth of what the media is possibly hiding, all in which is spoken through the strong choice of colours.
The medium itself is inspiring as it serves a meaningful purpose of opening people's eyes when it reveals the sudden change in mood and perception. This has altered my initial view of how I'm going to approach the creation of my final piece, the thought process of the medium choice will be more thorough.
