Beijing Embassy Guard - Acrylic on Canvas 120cm x 90cm
Every embassy in Beijing has a detail of disciplined, inscrutable military guards posted outside. They stand at attention, sharp and rigid, every day, hot or cold, day and night. Strong and incorruptible. Beijing also has a lot beautiful women, so you wonder sometimes if these guards find them at all distracting.
Do Not Urine Here - Acrylic on Canvas 120cm x 90cm
Bangalore has a lot of government and military bases in quiet, cleaner streets, that are surrounded by big walls and barbed wire. Perfect place for the auto-rickshaw driver to take a leak. Being a muslim, this guy probably can't read english, and if he did, he'd ignore it anyway, preferring to quietly piss on anything belonging to the Indian government.
Netas Ambassador - Acrylic on Canvas 120cm x 90cm
The Hindustan Motors Ambassador has long been the choice of indian politicians and is an icon of India. Indian politicians though, rarely achieve icon status. Unless they are assassinated. Probably why their Ambassadors now have black-tinted windows. So the Netas can sit in the back, unrecognized in self-absorbed loathing and contempt. Dark and unseen.
