Portrait of a time I Painting

This work is a part of series titled around the theme ‘Portrait of a time’. This seeks to convey through a unique visual experience, the portrait of the current times that the beings on the earth are going through. I find the fact that man drew and painted some 60,000 years ago when he had to struggle just to survive extremely hopeful. Thus, though the inherent theme of ‘Portrait of a time’ seeks to explore environmental issues exacerbated by human behaviour and greed, the visual experience retains a meditative quality about it. My visits to culturally and aesthetically rich Buddhist paintings at Ajanta as well as the recently discovered petroglyphs in Konkan region have significantly influenced the expressions. I have relied on my intuitive responses to choose materials while creating this collage vision piece. Focusing on elephants, this collage works explores the themes of man-animal conflict, hunting for ivory, reducing habitats and resultant decline in the population of the herds, highly questionable government endorsed practices such as culling and many more using a cave painting alike visual experience. This work is made in oil on a framed canvas using texts and images and will come without glass frame.
