In Nityan Unnikrishnan's new show, The Way Out, the first impression you get is probably the wrong one

In his new show, The Way Out, artist Nityan Unnikrishnan has taken static narratives and given them askew perspectives. In Mirror, a mixed media on paper, an elderly couple is in their bedroom. The man is reading the newspaper; the woman is soaking her feet in a tub, pacifying her corns.
On the wall behind them is a portrait of Mahatma Gandhi, next to a painting of one of the scenes from Gujarat riots. Rioter Ashok Mochi, with a headband and an iron rod, is raging against a burning city, as an actual lizard flits between them. In Sunny Afternoon, another mixed media on paper, there's a statue of goddess Durga alongside a lit samadhi in the navel of the sea, while a throng of beach bums navel-gazes.
