Masuram`s recent works are inspired by studio photography which he witnessed at his father’s photo studio as he grew up. These portraits in sepia tones juxtaposed along with contemporary imageries like ‘James Bond’ or ‘Superman’ create a witty sarcasm, as laymen become superheroes. The bright colors, a derivative of ‘Pop art’ and highly skillful rendering appropriated from Indian miniature painting styles, seem to gel without any struggle, thus generating harmonious renditions of high quality.
