Shared on the occasion of International Women’s Day yesterday, the caption read, “Do whatever you want to do, but don’t trouble your mother… Happy Women’s Day!” The actor has often been heard saying this catchphrase while hosting different seasons of the reality TV show Bigg Boss.
In a video that documented the process of creating the painting, the self-taught art was seen striking different poses while working his magic with confident brushstrokes.
The painting is essentially that of three women, one of whom is Mother Teresa. She is flanked a niqabi woman to her right and a woman with an orange veil on her head to the left. All three of them have their eyes closed. Titled ‘Motherhood‘, the artwork is from his first-ever solo show, which is an “artic ode to Mother Teresa”.
Google Arts and Culture describes the painting as “inspired her selflessness, the art uses Mother Teresa in his work as a recurring theme. His works are large, stylically arresting and often leave the viewer thinking”.
Khan’s art is managed Ashvin Gidwani, AGP World in collaboration with Being Human and Artiere Gallery, each of whom were tagged in the post, along with the Sandeep & Gitanjali Maini Foundation.
