About the work

Well Hidden brings together elements from earlier works such as horns, eyes, bolster cushions, splodges, spirals, fencing, patches, sun rays and arbitrary patterns in the form of an assemblage or an interior of rooms within rooms.

The drawing is overpainted by master miniature painter Riyaz Uddin and members of the Pink City Studio, an atelier I established in Jaipur in 1996 and incorporates the same techniques and materials that have been used for 700 years such as the single-hair-tipped brush and crushed gold leaf
