Urban Phulkari is a modern age, fifty four inch by fifty four inch, tapestry intricately woven of acrylic colours and spray paint onto canvas. It revels in symbolisms which meld the ancient with modernity, in an all encompassing glance at Indian urban life.
Red lipped angelic faces are counterpointed with the images of serene bulls amidst which, at first glance, appears to be a cacophony of symbol and colour, but which reveals itself to be an instructional diorama of the complexities of contemporary living. An overall warm palette brings the brightness of Mother India into golden sunbeams and Rajasthani pinks.
