Prasoon Poddar's ‘Silence Wall’ is a visual dialogue exploring societal behaviour through the lens of public art. The work draws inspiration from the dynamic portrayal of Amitabh Bachchan in the 1970s, particularly his role as the heroic Iqbal in Coolie. Amid a wall stained with time and indifference, Bachchan’s poster emerges as an unwavering symbol of resilience and reverence, mirroring the societal idolization of his persona.

Using art as a tool for social commentary, Poddar creates images that serve as a mirror to society’s often overlooked realities. The composition juxtaposes torn and weathered posters, illustrating neglect, with the untouched brilliance of Bachchan’s raw, grounded characters that resonated with the common man’s aspirations. Poddar’s meticulous layering of textures and muted tones mirrors the grimy reality of public walls, while the gleaming figure of Bachchan challenges viewers to confront their selective reverence and disregard. The painting not only celebrates the indomitable spirit of an era but also critiques the quiet contradictions of public spaces, transforming the ordinary into a potent narrative canvas.
