Atul Dodiya addresses the complexity of various simultaneous happenings in history - politics, art and culture - through powerful interjections in his works. ‘Police Crackdown, Bombay, July 9, 1930’ references a historical photograph of an event from the freedom struggle. The realism depicted in the photograph is interrupted through abstractions from the works of Rabindranath Tagore - poet and painter, working in Bengal at the very time that Gandhi was making his mark in the western provinces.
