‘Street-View’ paintings are essentially my engagement with the immediate reality of life in the city of Mumbai. 

This stream of works began around 2008-09 as an attempt to emulate Google street views from Google Earth, or snapshots of Earth conceived and visualized as accumulations of data. These paintings show random views of Mumbai streets obscured or defaced by an overlay of computer code graffiti.

Eventually, these works transformed into my recollection of streets, highways, architectural landmarks, and inhabitants of Mumbai. These are high contrast detailed paintings done in acrylic on canvas, sparsely colored and infused with a sense of alienation. These works present the city as a memory that is getting altered through the flow of information and passage of time.
