“Painting by Paribartana Mohanty: Different Jobs - I, 2013 (Oil on canvas)” / Vadehra Art Gallery / Art Basel Hong Kong 2013 / SML.20130523.EOSM.03988

These tongue-in-cheek paintings by Indian artist Paribartana Mohanty would put a smile on any Mac cultist’s face. Titled “Different Jobs,” they feature Apple’s founder Steve Jobs working in different professions—that of a shoemaker in this case. Will Steve Jobs be as well known should he choose to pursue the field of shoemaking in India? Is that an Indian Jobs?

 

Seriously WTF. Crazyisgood. SML Love.

 

(I am not particularly drawn to this style of painting, though it feels like that they are referencing the traditional portrait painting for royals in India. That said, perhaps my Indian friends can appreciate this better than I do.)

 

P.S. This is the first artist shown at Art Basel who has a Vimeo account!
