House of Gods by Deepak

The whole is bigger than the sum of its parts. This series by Deepak is one of his finest expressions till date. The figures being strung down descend from the heavenly ‘golden’ gates into the labyrinth of harsh reality, the complex unexpected twists, and turns- the story of every human life. The descent into the abyss is nothing but the beginning of the end which in itself is a new beginning. But it doesn’t stop at that…the painting dares to question the ultimate elusive truth: Is it all in our hands or is it all fate, predetermined and preordained? Are we just puppets being manipulated by a mystical Master Puppeteer?
