In Amritam’s work he focuses on popular culture drawing on the varied motifs, which have been

imprinted on his mind and drawn to represent different types of culture, particularly the images,

logos, symbols which are visually prevalent. His process is manual and iterative, using acrylic

on canvas as his primary medium. He states

“For the ‘BRIDGE2WORLDS’ project I produced ‘Makeup Man’. Indian films have many staff to do

makeup for the film stars, additionally the use of makeup is very popular in contemporary times. I

have drawn on my personal reflections and imagery from my memories, as well as popular colours,

texture, form, rhythm, and some captions to compose this work”.
