Shahpur Jat

The works of Anjolie Ela Menon are characterized by her sad, brooding figures with a romanticized treatment.

‘Shahpur Jat’, is one such work that shows the figure of a woman in the foreground pensively perched among the hustle-bustle of daily life. The calmness exuded by the woman, with her child nearby has been juxtaposed with the pitiful living conditions shown by the torn curtain and plastic strewn presenting a stark contrast.
