About The Artwork
Sir Salman Rushdie is one of the most accomplished novelists of our time. Enduring controversies over his work and renewed antagonism towards him from some quarters have shown him to have been right to remind us that the freedom of speech has to be won anew each day and that literature has to tackle contemporary problems; to fail to do is, for a writer, a cop out. This portrait captures Rushdie in a moment of pause contemplating something at a live event where he is called upon to speak. The complementary colour scheme enlivens the portrait while the stylised, dynamic background adds that extra oomph which Rushdie's writing is famed for. Watercolours, owing to their translucent and temperamental nature, make for a great medium for portraiture. This portrait benefits from the subtle play of reflected and direct lights, and warm and cool shadows, adding visual interest to the already captivating subject.

India
As an artist I'm interested in classical style as well as modern technique. Specifically, I'm interested in using the visual idioms of classical style, with their emphasis on accuracy, perspective, and proportionality, in the service of creating representational art that conveys more than a photograph can. While I work with pastels, pencils, and acrylics too, I am partial to watercolours. Though watercolours are considered by some to be a poorer cousin of oil paint I believe this is an unfair and inaccurate view, encouraged on one hand by the demandingess and temperamental nature of the medium and on the other hand the enviable freshness and spontaneity it can bring to a composition in the hands of a master, In addition to my pursuit of visual art projects, I write nonfiction essays, and reviews for arts and culture website www.Middlebrowse.com
