Looking back

Looking back by Ujwala Prabhu.
Title : “Looking back”
Series : On the road to Ashulia
Size : 20” by 36”
Medium : Mixed media on canvas
Price: currently not for sale

The teasing, taunting and sometimes worse that women have to endure while on the roads is a reality in quite a few cities in our world today. I blame cinema and fear of violence for this increase in harassment.

Say No to crimes against women.

This series is inspired by a visit to Ashulia with a couple of friends. Anil Advani captured some great moments on camera, and has generously allowed me to use these images as references. One year and a lot of work later, these people have developed personalities in my imagination and I feel I know them well.

A really nice one... the synergy in the picture! I love the vivid colors too... and the subtle blue cast in the woman's hair gives the impression of a hot sun.

thank you A@Dhaka :D I found another ref in the Ashulia post today and think that I might use that too but with a different crop.

I like the meaningful ambiguity of your background and I'm impressed with the progressive field of focus, as well as the intense blue in the foreground. Thanks Ujwala for posting to "PAINTING...Concept to Completion."
