If I were to guess, I'd say that Indian sculptor Gangadhar Mahato was a fan of Edvard Munch with a dab of Salvador Dali thrown in. The comment in the catalogue is that artworks are "a means of external and internal ideological conflict within the artist". And that certainly seems to be true in this work, not only in the expression and the throbbing neck veins but also in the duplication of so many of the body's features. (Eyes, pectorals and nipples, fingers and although not visible in this shot (but they are in later shots), toes. Actually the toes were one of the fist things I noticed; as in "toe-curling". Then I noticed all of the other duplications as well.)
The sculpture is made of fibreglass and for sale at $9,800. It was one of the works that attracted the most interest of any on display, and certainly I found it interesting, but I'm not sure that I could live with it in the same house as me. A touch too stressful, I think.
In the background I've left in part of Steve Croquett's work Jolly Giants (on the hill above to the right) which will appear in later shots. I thought that it was an interesting contrast given Croquett's view that "21st century life has become all too serious", which directly contrasts with this one.
