LALU SHAWLalu Shaw's tongue in cheek comment on the social-cultural milieu of babudom is woven into a beautiful allegory with the evocative use of lines and colours. Particularly manifested in the work featured here, the innocent pretentiousness of the babu juxtaposed with the candour of the woman's gaze, is a powerful evocation of a colonized state. Born 1937. Since 1956 Shaw has exhibited his works widely both in India and abroad including at the II British Biennale, London 1970. , VII Paris Biennale 1971, X Ljublijana Biennale 1973, Norwegian Print Biennale 1974, 1978, World Biennale, Bangladesh 1984, Whiteley's London 1996.
