BhakTi: Gods and goddesses re-imagined
Stuart Rice is a man with vision. In fact, a man with many visions, not the least of which is a re-imagining of the entire Hindu pantheon.
This time around, the gods and goddesses spring into new life as 20th-century pop icons.
A swirl of enthusiastic emails and telephone calls inspired the motley crew you see below … and there are more on the way. Available as T-shirts? Naturally!
- Kali, dangerously badass-sexy as Shaft meets Cleopatra Jones;
- Shiva, soulful snake-headed club DJ, spinning the end-of-the-world trance;
- Hanuman the monkey god incarnate as mischievously innocent ’50s cartoon;
- Lakshmi, gracious and regal as Audrey Hepburn cruising down Hollywood boulevard.
