Gifted with expertise in multiple mediums and styles, he has produced artworks encompassing oil on canvas, acrylic and oil on canvas, archival print on brushed silver metal laminate, mixed media on linen pasted on canvas, photography, digital print, and bronze sculpture.

Ambedker, who is often regarded as the father of Indian constitution, in Nirox Cultural Park in South Africa. The multiple statues of Ambedker in varying heights in that work are suggestive of division and hierarchy in the society, which has hindered both countries progress.

Artwork by Andy Warhol
What is pop-art?
Refers to an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged fine arts tradition by including popular culture imagery such as news and advertising. Pop art sometimes isolates and removes a material from its context and combines it with another unrelated material. This concept refers much to the attitudes that resulted in it and not on the art itself. Pop art employs comic books, advertising and other mass culture aspects. It is interpreted to have come as a reaction to abstract expressionism dominant ideas.
