Comments:
I work very intuitively on the subject that is cock fighting. I render the passion and violence intrinsic to such confrontation towards some sort of abstraction and arrange the fragmented forms to evoke a contradiction of beauty and violence. Through scattered small lines and grave dark shadows I construct a new reality, which emitting a distant echo of the subject depicted, that is cock fighting, which is titled ‘Kurukhetra to Kargil’, turn towards a new symbol of life force |
