When you walk into the Kamalnayan Bajaj Art Gallery tomorrow and marvel at the Surrealist paintings, think of the dire circumstances in which they were created. The charcoals, for instance, the work of artist Baby John Parkar, were drawn in a cell crowded with other inmates at the Arthur Road Jail. In need of an easel, Parkal made use of flattened cartons as an alternative.

The exhibition is the fourth of its kind and comes after a workshop conducted for the inmates at Arthur Road Jail
