FN Souza at Goa Art /Lit Festival 2019

Getting ready for my presentation on FN Souza at Goa Art /Lit Festival  

Display of FN Souza paintings at GALF morphed into graphic design (painting + photograph), a mosaic meticulously designed (by

Apoorva Raina

) within a 1941 black and white photograph of the young artist :

Portrait of the Young Artist 1941 (17 yr old Francis Newton)

I essentially like this photograph because of the rebellious stance and the fiery look in his eyes. A 'Rebel Prodigy' who created pathbreaking work at a young age, carving the modern woman on his canvas. His resurrection of the new woman was a twined Cleopatra, Lysistrata, Rati, Shakti & Kali!

Keren Souza, Sonia Rodriques Sabharwal teamed up with me to decorate & mount the poster, finely titled by Arjun Menezes.
