Naniah has used a garland of plastic flowers robed on a digital print of a flower. This layered image with the artificial fragrance speaks of a violation subjected to the image of the actual flower. This work is an attempt at questioning the changing sensibilities of a consumer society where “Durability” “Long lasting” “Washable” “Affordable” becomes the punch line. His paintings lie in the realm of appropriating pop imagery such as the Coca Cola logo collaged into dense architectural spaces. In crammed domestic environments, the logo is integrated into a composed space through patterned repetition. He derives various aspects of ubiquitous images that are often encountered in the public realm and subverts the meaning of it.
