The artist uses their skill to address their personal relationship with cities as well as with their ancestry. The decorative motifs floating in the background are drawn from the painted mansions of Shekhawati, their hometown, where they spent their childhood.
Their current body of work examines the visual dynamics of the roadside bazaar. Indian street bazaars are surrounded by visual stimulation and the noisy chaos of vendors and hawkers. These vendors dominate the busiest urban landscapes, creating a whole new world of images, sounds, and gestures that is constantly evolving and gaining ground. The visuals of roadside stalls anticipate and announce cultural and technological shifts.
Through these depictions, the artist offers a critical view of the strategic role of popular Indian imagery from the bazaar—not as an object to be seen or a text to be read, but as a process through which social and subjective identities are formed, introducing a new trajectory while still retaining cultural traditions.
The vendors, in their work, appear to embody a scenario in a permanent state of transition and movement. The artist’s aesthetic delineates the complex interrelations of India’s urban and semi-urban environments.
