Rs. 1,800,000 – 2,200,000 “My art is more like a researcher’s project who uses quotes rather than an essay, with each painting necessitating a bibliography†said Jitish Kallat whilst defining his art. Kallat’s work can be suggestively open-ended as in this witty painting incorporating two of India’s national symbols – the tiger and the elephant.
