Pop and the easel

Hailing from Taranto, a coastal city of southern Italy, 34-year-old artist David Cesaria spent five months in Mumbai and found his inspiration in our very own Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan thus creating an installation of dolls with SRK’s face atop Spiderman’s body and Big B’s atop Superman’s.

“The idea came from heroes being the new superheroes of today,” explains Zanti, the curator who has brought young Italian artists’ work such as Cesaria’s for the first time to India. After travelling to Mumbai and Kolkata last month, the 26 artists will make their final stop in Delhi. Explaining the idea behind this curatorial project, which is titled Dadaumpop, Zanti says the idea was to explore the origins of pop culture and examine elements of new pop art, which has its roots in Dada or ‘anti-art’ — the cultural movement that began with World War I.

Venue: Lalit Kala Akademi, Feroze Shah Road, March 5 to 11; 11 am to 7 pm
