Gandhi’s Three Monkeys
Indian artist Subodh Gupta’s
signature style uses objects of
daily life, such as household
kitchenware and bicycles, in
his artwork. Visitors to Katara
Cultural Village will find his
stimulating triptych—an homage
to Mahatma Ghandi’s three wise
monkeys—hard to ignore. Gupta
assembled steel and worn brass
utensils to form the heads of a
soldier, a terrorist, and a man
wearing a gas mask. The halting
sculpture embodies the Japanese
proverbial principle to “See no
evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.”
