Prasoon Poddar’s ‘Silence Wall’ draws inspiration from the socio-political ethos of the 1970s, with Amitabh Bachchan’s towering presence as an emblem of resilience and rebellion. The artwork juxtaposes the stark, weathered texture of a public wall with a radiant poster of Bachchan from Deewar, symbolizing the unyielding spirit of the era. While the surrounding posters crumble and fade, Bachchan’s image remains intact, embodying a beacon of hope amid societal decay.

The composition explores binaries—‘imagination and reality,’ ‘purity and pollution’—transforming the mundane into a visual commentary on public spaces. Poddar uses the wall as a metaphor for human resilience, where cracks and scars become a testament to survival. As a sensitive observer of a dynamic society, he uses art as a tool for social commentary and instigates actions through a compelling narrative, questioning the slow and gradual acceptance of actions that harm the environment.  Bachchan’s enduring legacy, set against the backdrop of a crumbling wall, mirrors the polarity of human vision, questioning the boundaries between heroism and vulnerability. Through Silence Wall, Poddar urges the observer to confront their role in shaping collective memory and identity.
