Its Tuesday, and its time for Art of the Week!
This week’s art is a painting by Nepalese artist called Kurchi Dasgupta called Access Denied.
Access Denied
Kurchi Dasgupta
Oil on Canvas
60″x48″

The woman in the painting seems like she has everything at her disposal, but the choices she makes are limited and restricted by societal structures and expectations. She has apparent access to everything, but come to think of it, does she really?
