Douet's first solo exhibition in India. 'Roar Like a Paintbrush' is a set of new paintings based on the Palace's collection of 19th century photographs of British political agents and residents.
About
'Looking at the main collection I was intrigued by the full-scale over-painting of sepia photographs by artists to enhance the true likeness of the images, sometimes resulting in the photographs losing their photographic quality and looking purely like paintings.
'The paintings are quite abstracted from the original sources, beginning with sketching and experiment and often going through many changes as I find what interest me in each different face. I use a Mughul palette of colours to draw out the idea that the British who stayed often became 'Indianised'.
