Gungi. Cow Painting with Street advertising 2024

Painted on Linen.

75x85cm

In this playful and eye-catching painting, a white cow is set in front of a  hand-painted Indian wall ad for underwear. The Hindi word “गंजी” (Gungi), meaning undershirt or vest, anchors the scene beside illustrated briefs and boxers in blue and pink.

 Set against a richly patterned backdrop of warm tones and stylized floral stencils, the painting blends the sacred with the everyday in true Indian street style.

A tongue-in-cheek tribute to desi wall art, sacred cows, and the delightful absurdity of public advertising.
